Following closely behind in second place was Lidl at £75.61, as it was overtaken by Aldi last month.

The average basket price at Asda, Sainsbury’s and Tesco fell between £80-90, while Morrisons was found to be the priciest of the Big 4 grocer‘s at £91.14, just £8.32 behind Waitrose.
Aldi Managing Director of Buying Julie Ashfield said: “We know that across the nation many families are finding things tough due to the cost of living crisis.
“At Aldi, we’re determined to help by keeping costs low and quality high for our customers. We’re thrilled to yet again be named the UK’s cheapest supermarket.”
