Taking to Aldi UK shoppers Facebook group, one shopper shared the price difference on a variety of commonly purchased supermarket products amid the cost of living crisis.
Writing in the group she noted: "Just found my budget spreadsheet for January, which I went through and put down the prices of each item (have only used Aldi items in this instance).
"I have then gone online and recorded the price today, plus the difference in £ and %. Interesting, the overall shop was 4.81% dearer than January. Before anyone judges the items, I know it doesn't include bread, etc."
On her shopping list were items such as chicken breasts, yoghurt, ham, grated mozzarella, mushrooms, strawberries, carrots, onions, eggs and potatoes.
She recorded her shopping and how much it cost her in January and compared them to April prices and by how much each item had increased by.
For example, in January chicken breasts cost her £9.49, however in April this jumped by 50p to £9.99. Meanwhile cocktail sausages rose by 44p from £1.25 to £1.69.
Interestingly however Greek yoghurt fell by 10p from £1.25 to £1.15 whilst mushrooms stayed the same price at £1.40 for 500g.

One shopper said: "This is really interesting, I'd love to have the comparison with the other supermarkets. I do buy a few things from Aldi, but having been caught out with smelly meat, and veg that goes off really quickly, I've given up. My challenge from now on is to start using my food mountain from the freezer and pantry. I'm embarrassed to admit that with the exception of fresh leafy and green veg, and the dogs chicken, we could probably eat for at least a couple of months without shopping!"
Another added: "This is interesting. I'm sure certain items have shrunk in quantity also."
A third said: "Thank you for sharing this spreadsheet. The distribution is interesting - most of your items have little to no change where a handful processed and/or seasonal items have had a significant jump. Well done Aldi in keeping prices low (notwithstanding smaller package sizes as applicable)."
