Which? has named Aldi the UK’s cheapest supermarket after comparing the price of a basket of 38 items - see how other supermarkets ranked.

Aldi has been named the cheapest supermarket in the UK by consumer experts Which? for the month of July. It is the 14th month in a row Aldi has claimed the title of the UK’s cheapest supermarket.

Each month Which? compares the price of a basket of 38 items from each of the major UK supermarkets, and in July the price of Aldi’s basket stood at £71.22. This was £16.02 cheaper than the most expensive supermarket on the list, Waitrose, which had a cost of £87.24 for the same basket of goods.

Bargain supermarket Lidl came in second place, once again missing out on the top spot by £1.38 with a basket price of £72.60. Asda was the third cheapest at £78.65, followed by Tesco at £79.59, Sainsbury’s at £81.06, Morrisons at £82, and then Ocado at £86.26.

Which? also compared the cost of a larger trolley of 135 items which includes the original 38 products from the basket comparison plus 91 more. Aldi and Lidl do not feature on this list of comparisons as the discounters do not always stock big-brand products.
