Which? tracked hundreds of thousands of grocery prices across eight major supermarkets to name the UK's cheapest
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.
The results for the final month of the year in December showed a basket of 48 groceries on average was £81.63 at Aldi, just beating Lidl, where the basket was £83.24. Meanwhile, Waitrose was more than £30 pricier than Aldi, at £112.62 and was consistently the most expensive supermarket across the 12 months.
Asda was the cheapest of the traditional supermarkets in December - as it has been every month for the last three years. Based on a larger trolley of 149 products, Asda was cheapest at £355.62 followed by Sainsbury’s , Tesco , Morrisons and Ocado . At Waitrose the total came to £406.95, £51.33 more than Asda.
The consumer champion’s Affordable Food For All campaign calls on supermarkets to do more to ensure own-brand budget line items are widely available throughout all branches – including in smaller convenience stores. They should also make pricing and offers more transparent and provide targeted promotions to support people in the areas that are struggling most with access to affordable food.
