Shoppers at budget supermarkets have seen steeper price rises over the past year than at traditional stores, according to consumer group Which?. Prices were up 23.6% year-on-year at Lidl in January and 22.5% at Aldi, according to the Which? food and drink tracker.
However, price rises were 10.4% at Ocado, 13.2% at Sainsbury’s, 13.6% at Tesco, 14.4% Morrisons, 15.2% at Waitrose and 16.8% at Asda. Despite this, both Lidl and Aldi are still cheaper overall than their rivals, Which? said.
It comes after Aldi was recently crowned the cheapest UK supermarket for the seventh month running, the Mirror reports.
