Supermarket stays cheapest for shopping essentials for six months with no sign of budging
20.08.2023 - 05:45 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A supermarket has now been the cheapest for these shopping essentials for more than six months.
We've been tracking the cost of the same eight items at the six main supermarkets since March 2022 and since the end of this January, Lidl has repeatedly come out on top.
With this week's bill standing still at £11.68 for the shopping basket, it's 10% cheaper than the dearest Morrisons and 4% cheaper than its nearest rivals Sainsbury's and Aldi.

Once again there have been no price changes in this week's comparison, which looks at the cost of milk, bread, tea bags, coffee, butter, beans, chicken and mince.
At £12.17, Sainsbury's remains second cheapest behind Lidl for a fifth week, with Aldi in third place, at £12.18. But Aldi bosses say the only reason Sainsbury’s shows as cheaper in our comparison is because the small sample of products is part of Sainsbury’s Aldi Price Match scheme and includes one Sainsbury’s product (beans) that is almost 5% smaller than the Aldi equivalent.
They also say that schemes like Price Match apply to a tiny proportion of Sainsbury’s products (around 380 products so less than 1%) and 'shoppers know that the only place you can get Aldi prices on every single product is at Aldi'.
Lidl is now spending its 30th consecutive week as the cheapest, with no sign of budging from that top spot.
Prior to that it was Aldi, which had been cheapest since mid December last year, but even most of last year it was Lidl taking the top spot.
Morrisons is the most expensive for the fourth week running, with a bill of £12.85. Second most expensive is Asda at £12.81, with Tesco third most expensive at £12.47.
