Aldi Prices

Aldi skips branded items providing low cost items which have little difference to the original. Many other supermarkets have taken on an ‘Aldi price match’ where you can find your favourites for the same cost as Aldi’s. Skipping the premium brands means skipping the marketing fees too delivering their customers with a weekly shop for less.

Lidl Prices

A close second cheapest UK supermarket is Lidl with very little difference in price between most items. So this is another great option if you have a Lidl near you rather than an Aldi.

The average price for a shop of 65 items came to £121.31.
