Morrisons has increased the price of a basic shopping item by 20% in the last fortnight.
We've been tracking the cost of the same eight items in the six same supermarkets for almost a year now to see where you can pick up the basics for less.

Back in March 2022, the cheapest place for the shopping was Aldi, at £9.13, closely followed by Lidl's £9.14.
Almost 12 months later and the cheapest, Lidl, is £11.54. That's for tea bags, coffee, a two-pint bottle of milk, a loaf of bread, a pack of chicken breasts, a pack of mince, beans and butter.
This week is one of very few weeks where there's been just one price rise, with Morrisons putting its 500g pack of mince up from £2.19 to a whopping £2.39.

An Asda spokesperson: "We launched the Just Essentials By Asda range last year to provide customers with the option of getting all of

Zack Sharf Digital News Director John Boyega has already aired his grievances about Disney’s fumbling of diversity in his “Star Wars” trilogy, notably telling GQ magazine in 2020, “What I would say to Disney is do not bring out a Black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are and then have them pushed to the side. It’s not good. I’ll say it straight up.” “You guys knew what to do with Daisy Ridley, you knew what to do with Adam Driver,” Boyega continued at the time. “But when it came to Kelly Marie Tran, when it came to John Boyega, you know fuck all.

They gave all the nuance to Adam Driver, all the nuance to Daisy Ridley. Let’s be honest. Daisy knows this. Adam knows this. Everybody knows. I’m not exposing anything.”
