Millions of people are continuing to be impacted by the UK's cost of living crisis which has seen massive price hikes recently. Fuel costs, council tax rises and increases in National Insurance have put a huge strain on households around the country, and groceries aren't getting any cheaper either.
With inflation rising about 5.5% in the 12 months to January, shopping around for the best prices and making sure you're getting the best value is more important than ever.
Using online price comparison tool Trolley.co.uk, we've compared prices for a standard four-pint carton of whole milk across the main supermarkets in the UK to find out which one comes out cheapest.
Here's what we found.
