The cost of some everyday groceries has more than doubled over the last year, consumer brand Which? has found. The company analysed inflation on more than 25,000 food and drink products at eight major supermarkets – Aldi, Asda, Lidl, Morrisons, Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose.
Which? looked at the average price of the products in the three months to the end of February 2023 compared to the same time period last year. Data revealed that prices increased most at Lidl, followed by Aldi, Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and then Ocado.
Which? found a range of everyday items – including milk, meat and fruit – on each supermarket’s list of groceries with the highest inflation. The company said own-brand products were particularly hard-hit and also featured heavily on lists.
