German supermarket chain Aldi has been revealed as the cheapest in the UK for a typical basket of shopping.
Consumer experts at Which? carry out a comparison every month between all the major supermarkets in the UK to find out how much it'll cost customers to buy their shopping essentials.
And by going to Aldi, you could save nearly £22 on the 43 popular grocery items used in the study compared to the most expensive place on the list.
The full basket of shopping at Aldi would cost you £74.81 on average, whereas at Waitrose, it would set you back £96.59.
Coming in second place was Lidl, with the basket costing £77.50. Then came Sainsbury's at £85.25, followed by Tesco at £85.32.
Asda and Morrison's came next at £85.81 and £89.01 respectively, with Ocado coming in at £89.96.
Which? also compared the cost of a larger trolley of 139 items – the original 43, plus an additional 96 things. These items included a larger number of brand-name items, such as Andrex toilet paper and Cathedral City cheese.
This comparison didn't include discount supermarkets Aldi and Lidl as they don't always stock some of these products.
For another month, Asda was the cheapest for this larger trolley of groceries, and has continued to be the cheapest of the bigger supermarket chains since January 2020.
In February, it cost £355.29 for this shop, beating the next cheapest, Sainsbury’s (£358.77), by £3.48.
Waitrose was a staggering £41.29 more expensive than Asda, coming in at £396.58, on average, for the trolley of goods.
This shows that shoppers can save a lot of money depending on where they choose to buy their groceries.
But with food prices rising at even the cheapest supermarkets, Which? believes that bosses can do more to support their customers -

Thania Garcia Ana Bárbara, otherwise known as “Grupera Queen,” received her flowers as a BMI Icon at the 30th annual BMI Latin Awards held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on March 21. The singer — whose blended style of rancheras, norteño and Latin pop helped to define the grupero genre — became the first regional Mexican songwriter to receive the accolade for her musical career which spans over 30 years of chart-topping hits like “Bandido” and “Lo Busqué,” which dominated radio across Mexico and the United States. It was a big night for música Mexicana as Edgar Barrera, one of the most sought-after songwriters and producers of the last few years, was given the first-ever Impact award for his award-winning contributions across genres like contemporary Latin and regional Mexican. Throughout the night, he returned to the stage to accept over 10 trophies as the most recognized songwriter at this year’s ceremony. (He was also the top-nominated act at last year’s Latin Grammys.)
