Each month Which? compares the prices of groceries from all supermarkets to see which is the cheapest. And it might be unsurprising to know Aldi has been crowned the winner for the 11th consecutive month.
The latest research shows that in April, Aldi was £17.34 cheaper than the most expensive supermarket, Waitrose, for an equivalent basket of 39 essential items. £17.34 over a month is a saving of £69.36 for a shopper.
Which? also revealed Aldi to be £8.10 cheaper than Tesco and £11.47 cheaper than Morrisons per basket.
Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi, said: “At Aldi, we believe access to great quality food and drink is a right not a privilege.
“Shoppers want to know they are getting great quality produce at the best possible prices.

Ele Clark, Which? retail editor, said: “It’s no surprise to see many people turning to discounters like Aldi and Lidl when our research shows they could save up to £17 on a basket of everyday groceries by doing so.
“Supermarkets aren’t currently doing enough to help shoppers.
“Which? believes the big retailers have a responsibility to ensure everyone has easy access to basic, affordable food ranges at a store near them, and to provide transparent and comparable pricing so people can easily work out which products offer the best value.”
