The cheapest supermarket in the UK has been named - and it's not Lidl, Morrisons or Asda.
As prices rise and budgets are squeezed, people are having to think carefully about what they spend. Usually, when cost-cutting, the first cutback made is the weekly supermarket shop.
With this in mind, Which? conducted its monthly cheapest supermarket price comparison and looked at the cost of a basket of 52 items, including groceries and household essentials. The groceries included seedless grapes, white bread and tea bags.

Aldi came in at the cheapest, costing £75.61. The same shopping cost £11.63 more at Sainsbury’s and £15.42 more at Morrisons.
Lidl was the second cheapest coming in at £76.99 - £1.38 more than Aldi. The independent consumer group’s research also found Aldi to be £25.53 cheaper than the most expensive supermarket, Waitrose, for an equivalent basket of items.
Julie Ashfield, managing director of buying at Aldi, said: “At Aldi, we’re dedicated to ensuring our customers have access to the highest quality products at unbeatable prices and we’re thrilled to be recognised as the UK’s Cheapest Supermarket.”
