The cheapest supermarket for the month of August has been named with some of the 'big four' including Morrisons and Tesco among the most expensive.
According to consumer comparison website Which?, their experts checked the price of 49 popular groceries, including Heinz baked beans, milk and tea bags, at the UK's biggest supermarkets to see how they compare.
They carried out this research every day throughout last month - but who came out on top?

Here's what they found out and who they crowned the cheapest supermarket.
According to the comparison website Aldi was crowned the cheapest supermarket overall with their shop costing £76.24, on average, beating rival discounter Lidl by £1.66.
At the other end of the scale is Waitrose who came in at a total of £102.20, on average, making it £25.96 more expensive than Aldi.
With 'big four' supermarkets such as Tesco and Morrisons didn't make the top spot, it was Asda who came out the cheapest with a total average of £85.99. This compares to the former two 'big four' shops who totalled an average of £88.48 and £96.54.
Which added that whilst the price is just one factor, they also "survey shoppers on their experiences in terms of product quality, customer service, store experience, online deliveries and a range of other factors to reveal the best and worst supermarkets each year.

"We also compared the cost of a larger trolley of 153 items (the original 49, plus 104 more). This trolley included a larger number of branded items, such as Andrex toilet paper and Cathedral City cheese. You can’t always find these items in discounter supermarkets, so we haven’t included Aldi or Lidl in this comparison.
"Asda cost the least with this trolley of groceries, continuing its streak as the cheapest traditional supermarket, which started in January 2020. It cost £337.50, on average, for our big trolley shop, beating the next cheapest, Sainsbury's (£360.93), by £23.43.
"Waitrose was a whopping £49.48 more expensive than Asda, coming in at £386.98, on average, for the same trolley of goods."
The list comes as grocery price inflation, as reported by Which?, was 11.6 per cent in the four weeks to August 7, according to market analysts Kantar which is said to be the highest level since Kantar started measuring back in 2008.
Fraser McKevitt, Kantar's head of retail and consumer insight, said: "As predicted, we’ve now hit a new peak in grocery price inflation, with products such as butter, milk and poultry, in particular, seeing some of the biggest jumps. This rise means that the average annual shop is set to rise by a staggering £533, or £10.25 every week, if consumers buy the same products as they did last year."
