REVEALED: The cheapest and most expensive supermarkets
Shoppers could have saved themselves nearly £40 buying a trolley-load of goods at Aldi rather than Waitrose last month, new research by consumer group Which? has claimed.
Aldi beat all of Britain's other major supermarkets to come in first place on pricing for the 74 products in question, followed by fellow German discounter Lidl and rival Asda.
At the other end of the spectrum, Waitrose, Ocado and Sainsbury's came in markedly more expensive, according to the findings.
The price data by Which? covered a range of 74 branded and supermarket own-label products last month, including everything from free-range eggs and semi-skimmed milk to Hovis wholemeal bread and Knorr vegetable stock pots.
Taking into account all the 74 items included in the shop, shoppers at Aldi would have spent £66.45 last month, while those plumping for Lidl would have forked out slightly more, with the total coming in at £67.17
At Asda, Tesco and Morrisons, the shopping bill for the 74 items would have ended up at, on average, £74.12, £82.11 and £84.73 respectively.
Meanwhile, at Sainsbury's, Ocado and high-end Waitrose, the total spend came in at £87.45, £100.16 and £105.25 respectively.
