Cheapest supermarket to shop at this summer named and it's not Asda, Lidl or Tesco

The cheapest supermarket to stock up on summer essentials this year has been named - and it's not Lidl, Asda or Tesco.

Doing the weekly shop is an arduous challenge while the cost of living crisis rages on, especially as summer gets underway and the prospect of barbecues becomes a reality. Everyone loves a good barbecue and despite British summers being a tad unpredictable, many shoppers peruse the aisles looking for essentials to whack on the grill.

Personal finance experts at money.co.uk have conducted research to discover which supermarket is the cheapest this summer, and have crowned Aldi the winner. The supermarket came out on top for BBQ goods for the second year in a row.

The supermarket offers a luxury BBQ basket for £65.12 on average, a stark contrast to pricier food store Waitrose, where a similar basket comes in at £159.56. Though Waitrose did fair better when it comes to vegetarian food, with its plant-based BBQ options costing around £10.68 for two people, which was cheaper than supermarket favourite, Tesco.

Aldi was victorious again when it came to those with a pescatarian diet. Its budget-friendly barbecue options cost, on average, £20.24. You can find your nearest Aldi store here.
