Harry Rose, editor of Which? publication, stated: “Our research shows Aldi has retained its crown as the UK’s cheapest supermarket in 2024.
“After the added expense of the festive period, many households will be looking to cut costs. Our analysis shows that by switching supermarkets, shoppers can make significant savings, highlighting the advantages of shopping around where possible.”
The list of 56 items included both branded and own-brand items, such as Birds Eye Peas, Hovis bread, milk and butter. Special offers were included, but any multi-buys were not.
The study also found Asda to be the cheapest supermarket for a larger trolley of 158 items — but only for nine months of the year.
The research explained this is because the supermarket is facing a “strong challenge” from Tesco Clubcard costs, that made Tesco less costly in 3 out of the 7 months considering that Which? started consisting of commitment costs in its evaluation from June 2024.
