The list of 55 items included both branded and own-brand items, such as Birds Eye Peas, Hovis bread, milk and butter. The analysis includes special offer prices and loyalty prices where applicable, but not multibuys.

Harry Rose, editor of Which? magazine, said: “Our latest monthly analysis once again sees Aldi crowned as the UK’s cheapest supermarket, however Lidl remains hot on its discounter rival’s heels.

“With Christmas just around the corner, people are looking to cut costs where they can. Our analysis shows that by switching supermarkets consumers could save up to 21 per cent, highlighting the advantages of shopping around where possible."

Aldi has been the Which? cheapest supermarket every month in 2024 so far, usually with Lidl following closely behind.
