Supermarket chain Asda has hung onto its crown as the most affordable supermarket for online shopping. The store is currently the cheapest supermarket for the weekly shop and has been now for a year.
Sainsbury’s follows in second place, just £1.79 more expensive than Asda. The data comes from online price-tracking website Alertr.
Alertr has been tracking the prices of 42 everyday items from the shopping basket on the Office for National Statistics' Consumer Price Index since 2019. Included within the list are items such as eggs, milk and bread, as well as non-perishables such as pasta, rice and cereal.
