The cost of living is affecting many people, and as we all know, every little saving helps when it comes to shopping - with food often the most expensive.
A major supermarket has now snatched the 'cheapest' title from Aldi, following a 15 percent reduction in the cost of an essential item since last week. Despite being one of the priciest retailers for much of the past year, Morrisons is currently the most affordable among the six main supermarkets, according to weekly comparison by the Manchester Evening News .
However, this week, Morrisons is the cheapest of all, having reduced the price of its chicken breasts to the lowest on the market. The Morrisons More Card, which introduced additional offers in stores this week, has seen the price drop from £2.65 for a 330g pack to £2.25, a price that will remain until September 22.
Lidl ranks second with a total of £12.03, while Aldi has moved into third place at £12.12 after increasing the price of its butter from £1.69 to £1.79. Asda is the fourth cheapest at £12.55, closely followed by Sainsbury's at £12.56. Despite a slight decrease in the price of its budget Stockwell tea bags, Tesco remains the most expensive after increasing the price of its butter, coming in at £12.71.
