A popular supermarket chain ranked as one of the cheapest at the start of the cost of living crisis is now the most expensive, research has revealed.
Edinburgh Live's sister title MEN started tracking the cost of the same eight essentials at the six main supermarkets a year ago as families were hit with rising costs. They looked at budget store prices, as well as Morrisons, Asda, Sainsbury's and Tesco to see how they fared.
When eight essential products from Lidl, Aldi, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco were compared 12 months ago, Asda came out as third cheapest after budget retailers Lidl and Aldi. But now the same comparison of goods has revealed Asda as the most expensive.
