Aldi Named September’s Cheapest Supermarket, Which? Finds

Which? says switching to cheaper stores can cut grocery costs by up to 36% during a 5.1% food inflation squeeze.

Overview

  • Aldi topped Which?’s 71‑item basket in September at £122.77, edging Lidl by £1.18 (£123.95).
  • Waitrose was the priciest for the small shop at £167.19 and also for the larger trolley at £531.39.
  • For a 186‑item shop, Asda was cheapest at £465.66, undercutting Tesco with Clubcard at £472.45, with Aldi and Lidl excluded due to smaller ranges.
