Need to know: Morrisons named priciest supermarket as Aldi cuts costs- Morrisons has become the most expensive supermarket for the first time in 12 months after Aldi slashed the price of its tea bags by 11%.
- The weekly price analysis, which tracks eight essential items across six major supermarkets, saw Morrisons top the list with a total basket cost of £13.53. Throughout the past year, Sainsbury's had predominantly held this unwelcome position, with Tesco claiming the title for the previous five weeks.
- Aldi's decision to reduce its tea bags from £1.85 to £1.65 has propelled it to the cheapest position at £13.13, displacing Lidl for the first time since early December. Lidl now sits at £13.31, followed by Asda at £13.34.
- Sainsbury's ranks fourth cheapest with its total reduced to £13.37, whilst Tesco rounds out the list at £13.50 after also cutting chicken breast prices. The analysis covers bread, butter, beans, milk, tea bags, coffee, chicken and beef mince.
- An Aldi spokesperson said: "Our customers know they can always count on us for great value across the board, without needing to join a club or show a loyalty card. That's why Which? has named us Cheapest Supermarket of the Year for five years running."
- However, retailers dispute the findings, with Aldi claiming its products are of 'higher quality' and Sainsbury's arguing the analysis 'does not reflect the fantastic value' customers find in store. Morrisons maintains it 'remains committed to providing good, honest value' for shoppers.
