In contrast, premium supermarket labels have seen an increase of 13.8 per cent on average, while more established brands saw an increase of 13.3 per cent., but that has not exempted them from seeing the largest average annual price hikes.Prices were up 24.4 per cent at Lidl over the last year, while Aldi products saw an increase of 22.7 per cent.
