Milk, bread and butter had slightly increased
Lidl has lost its crown as the cheapest supermarket for basic food items - a title it has held since June. Prices have yo-yo'd in the last year with Morrisons at one point being the cheapest before becoming the most expensive in a matter of weeks.
According to analysis by Manchester Evening News, Lidl rival Aldi has secured the top spot following a slight increase in prices for three products at Lidl. It was only last week when Lidl ditched its cheapest £1.72 butter for a £1.99 block. But now the price of that has risen to £2.15. It's also put the cost of its cheapest loaf up from 36p to 39p and has hiked its two-pint bottle of milk from £1.25 to £1.30. The rises mean the cost of the full Lidl basket - containing milk, a loaf of bread, coffee, teabags, butter, beans, chicken breasts and mince - has risen from £10.88 to £11.12 in a week.Aldi on the other hand has remained the same, at £10.91, with Sainsbury's just 3pm more than Lidl at £11.15.
There have been no increases at Morrisons, but it remains the most expensive at £11.50.
