A supermarket chain that was previously found to be the most expensive has become the third cheapest in a weekly comparison. Amid price increases, Manchester Evening News have been monitoring the prices of the same eight essential items at the main six supermarkets every week.
Time after time Morrisons has been deemed as the most expensive, but in recent weeks it has been climbing back up the chart and has become the third cheapest shop for this week's round, with Asda falling to the bottom spot. Lidl remains in the top spot, with Aldi closely behind.
The bill for both Tesco (£11.91) and Sainsbury's (£11.87) is also now more than the retailer's £11.77 after the latter raised the price of mince from £1.99 to £2.19 as part of its Aldi Price Match. As well as the 500g pack of mince, the comparison also looks at the prices of a two-pint bottle of milk, a loaf of bread, a pack of chicken breasts, tea bags, coffee, beans and butter.
