Are you planning a barbecue? With the summer weather in full swing, many are planning outdoor gatherings. To help you save money on your next BBQ, researchers at Alternix have compared prices of common BBQ ingredients across nine supermarkets.
The researchers looked at the cost of essential BBQ items for four people, including burgers, ketchup, buns, cheese, sausages, lettuce, hot dog rolls, and tomatoes. Aldi emerged as the most budget-friendly option, coming in at just £2.19 per head. Close behind were Tesco and Asda, both offering BBQ essentials for under £10 for four people.
At the other end of the price spectrum, M&S was significantly more expensive, costing nearly twice as much as Aldi per head. Interestingly, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose tied for the fifth spot, costing the same for their BBQ essentials.
David Phillips of Alternix commented on the findings, stating that hosting a BBQ is a great way to enjoy the summer weather and connect with loved ones. He emphasized the importance of finding the best deals to ensure everyone can enjoy a delightful gathering without breaking the bank.
