Consumer group Which? has named the cheapest supermarket in the country based on the results of monthly surveys carried out in 2022. Aldi has narrowly beaten rival Lidl to be named the cheapest supermarket of the year, according to Which? research.
Each month during 2022 Which? tracked hundreds of thousands of grocery prices across the UK’s eight major supermarkets (Aldi, Asda, Lidl, Morrisons, Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Waitrose) to find out how much each shop was charging for everyday items such as bread, milk and eggs.
Overall Aldi was the cheapest supermarket for seven consecutive months from June to December while Lidl was the cheapest from January to May.
