High-street retailer Waitrose was named the most expensive supermarket in the UK again, with an average of £229.88 during June.

This marks a nearly 41 per cent difference (£66.54) from the price at an Aldi store.

Julie Ashfield, chief commercial officer at Aldi UK, said: “Being named Which?’s cheapest supermarket for the entire first half of this year is fantastic recognition of our unwavering commitment to offering customers the very best value.

”As families enjoy the World Cup together this summer and look to stretch their budgets, these results prove they can save hundreds of pounds by switching to Aldi without compromising on quality.”
