Basic shop test shows supermarket has gone from cheapest to most expensive

The UK's 'most value for money' supermarket now sits at the most expensive just six weeks later - as the cost of living crisis continues to strike Britons monetarily. Prices on everyday household products are continuing to steadily rise, while millions of households across the nation struggle to make ends meet.

As inflation continues to bolster, The Manchester Evening News have returned to the six main supermarkets and tallied up the bill for its eight most common items. For example, two pints of milk, a loaf of bread, coffee, teabags, butter, beans, chicken breasts and mince have all reached double figures in each of the stores for the first time.

The receipts from identical shops in May have been compared, and it's terrible news for those who do their weekly shop at Morrisons. Although the leading retailer was ranked as the most cost effective just six weeks ago, the tables have flipped and it now ranks as the most expensive - with prices still climbing.
