Cheapest UK supermarket for the rest of 2024 named – and it’s not Lidl

With energy bills set to rise by 10%, equivalent to £149 when the new price cap is introduced in October, families up and down the country will be looking for ways to cut everyday spending in order to account for this cost.

Luckily, consumer champions Which? have compiled a list of the UK’s supermarkets according to cost, revealing that the cheapest option is Aldi – with shoppers able to save well over £30 a month just by making the switch to budget retailer.

Their research found that shoppers could save £30.31 each week by switching from Waitrose to Aldi, and with the average energy bill due to rise by £12.41 per month for most households these savings can mean a world of good.

Even those who shop elsewhere using Nectar or Clubcards could be better off switching to Aldi according to Which?

When collating the price differences they included loyalty prices in its monthly Cheapest Supermarket price comparison, looking at the cost of groceries and household essentials.

The results showed Sainsbury’s to be £19.05 more expensive, while Tesco was £13.04 dearer, solidifying the message that the only place to get Aldi prices is at Aldi.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “We’ve always promised our customers that we will never be beaten on price, and when looking at the Which? analysis, the results speak for themselves.

“Our ongoing commitment to providing shoppers with the very best, for less clearly shines through when customers see how much money they can save simply by switching to Aldi.

“Families can enjoy good quality food without breaking the bank thanks to Aldi – and that these savings are a real help for those who will be feeling the pinch next month.”
