Shoppers who stay loyal to Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, or Morrisons over Aldi and Lidl are paying more for their groceries, according to a price comparison analysis by Which?.

Rising prices have hit many products, including olive oil, which has seen a staggering 110% increase in cost over the past year. However, budget supermarket Aldi offers a more affordable option with its Specially Selected Terra Di Bari Castel Del Monte Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which costs just £5.19 and has been rated highly by independent experts. Other tips for saving on olive oil include buying own-brand, ignoring jargon like ‘cold pressed’, and opting for blended olive oil for everyday cooking.

Tesco and Aldi have both issued urgent product recalls, offering customers full refunds without the need for a receipt.

Morrisons has emerged as the UK’s most affordable supermarket, dethroning previous winners Aldi and Lidl. Despite being criticized for higher prices in the past, Morrisons now offers a weekly shop of essential items for £11.97, compared to £12.11 at Lidl and £12.14 at Aldi. This turnaround is attributed to a bargain pack of mince sold at £1.99.
Following its appearance on Channel 4’s ‘Aldi’s Next Big Thing,’ Aldi’s Cluster Club snack has become a hot seller, with all flavors currently available for the reduced price of £1.99. The snack features chocolate-coated fruit and nut clusters with walnuts, Brazil nuts, and hazelnuts.
