A shopper who has been comparing the prices of identical basic items at supermarkets week on week says Morrison's took an unfortunate crown in the latest battle of the bills - coming out more expensive than Sainsbury's. Emma Gill of the MEN has been buying the same items at different shops to give a week-on-week analysis of how prices are changing.
She has been buying the same eight items at Tesco, Asda, Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury's and Morrisons - a two-pint bottle of milk, a loaf of bread, coffee, teabags, butter, beans, chicken breasts and mince. Last week MEN found that Lidl was the cheapest for all eight products, coming in at £9.82.
Emma said: "Despite it putting up the price of milk and butter this week, it has still kept its bill lower than any of the other stores, at £9.91. The biggest shock however is Morrisons, which just three weeks ago was wearing the cheapest crown itself, with a bill of £9.78 for the shopping basket.
