With the cost of living crisis continuing to have a huge impact on households, many have turned to their weekly food shop to see where they can cut back amid rising prices.
As the cost of groceries continues to climb, lots of people have switched up their regular supermarket and started shopping around to find their food essentials for less. But with several competitors out there all claiming to offer the best prices, it can seem virtually impossible to find the time to compare them all.
The Liverpool Echo carried out a test to see which shop is the cheapest when it comes to some of the most basic essentials so that you don't have to. The reporter picked up two pints of milk, a loaf of bread, a bag of at last six apples, a bag of potatoes and a tin of beans at 12 different stores and compared the prices between them - finding a difference of £3.22 between the priciest option and the cheapest for the five items.
