Every supermarket has its own brand budget range to help families save money during their weekly shop. With the 2022 cost of living crisis in full swing, it’s hard to imagine how people would cope without value brands.
A store with branches in Manchester was the first to introduce a budget range in the UK. Fine Fare started life as a convenience store in 1951 before growing into a chain of large supermarkets.
The first branch opened in North London, and it wasn’t long before stores began popping up in other parts of the country.
