Customers of Tesco and Sainsbury's have been warned that they could be paying hundreds more for their shopping each year.
Using the brand's smaller stores may be more convenient, but a new checklist released by Which? shows that doing so may prove to be more costly too. Which? said households spend £10.20 more each week at a Sainsbury’s Local rather than a regular Sainsbury’s supermarket - adding up to a staggering £322 over the course of a year.
Meanwhile, a basket of groceries from convenience store Tesco Express cost on average £279 more over 12 months, compared to the larger stores. Which? analysed the average prices of 48 items at the two convenience chains in February 2021 and highlighted its research again this week in a series of new cost-cutting measures for shoppers, reported Manchester Evening News.
