In the face of an ongoing cost-of-living crisis, we’re proud that our customers can save over £20 on basket spend by shopping with Aldi.”
A Waitrose spokesperson told the ECHO: “We continue to work with our suppliers to keep prices as low as possible with more price cuts to come, but remain equally committed to industry leading animal welfare standards, paying our farmers fairly and providing outstanding quality products.”
