Aldi has yet again been named the cheapest UK supermarket, marking the
supermarket’s tenth consecutive win.

According to recent data from consumer watchdog Which?, a basket of 41
grocery items at Aldi cost £72.54 on average across the month, compared with
£92.55 at Waitrose and £72.79 at Lidl.

Sainsbury’s was third cheapest at £80.27, then Tesco with £81.58, which was
followed by Asda and Morrisons at £81.88 and £83.63, respectively.


Earlier this year, German discounter Aldi was named the cheapest supermarket
for 2022.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi, said: “Now, more than
ever, our focus remains on keeping prices low and quality high. This is the
tenth month in a row we have been named as the UK’s cheapest
supermarket, and we couldn’t be more delighted. In the face of an ongoing
cost-of-living crisis, we’re proud that our customers can save over £20 on
basket spend by shopping with Aldi.”

And all it took was having two staff members on shift at a time selling half-rancid meat from dirty shelves. Who would have thought it could be so simple?

Is that because they never put the heating on in the store.

I've had a problem with my local Iceland store for a long time. They have price labels saying for example buy 3 for £10.00 and save £1.25.

But when you get to the till you pay £11.25.:fist:

On at least two occasions the person on the till has given me the receipt and I've seen I have been overcharged and then time is spent giving me a refund.

I went in this morning and saw a £4.00 for 2 offer and the saving was £1.50.

It was busy so I didn't have time to check my receipt but outside I noticed I had been charged £5.50.:fist::fist:

I had to go back in and the manager is very arrogant and when I told her they should sort out their prices, immediately as I walked away I heard her laugh. I turned my head round and she and a colleague were laughing. No respect for customers.

I still prefer Lidl. It's local to me and has some products from Italy as well.

M & S staffing levels have fallen dramatically, you are lucky to find someone behind the till now, its all about self service

That's why I go to self service tills. When something is wrong I know immediately.
Today I bought fish that's was down to one pound.
But on the till it rang 2.50.
When I told them they corrected it.

Lidl is OK other than the "fresh" meat.
