Aldi is currently the UK’s cheapest grocer


The retail sector is a very competitive one. A lot of outlets are implementing promotional deals to attract a maximum number of consumers. According to a poll, which is based on the criteria of ‘value for money’, Aldi has been recognised as the cheapest grocer for weekly shopping in the UK.

‘The Grocer’s’ weekly price comparison has revealed that the cost of a basket of goods at German discounter was approximately £5 less than Big 4 grocer Asda. Aldi’s total shopping cart was estimated to be £36.73. This is £4.47 cheaper than Asda where the price was at £41.20. The study disclosed that the German firm offered the lowest rates for 30 out of the 33 items purchased. ‘The Grocer’ advanced that “Guest retailer Aldi claimed a convincing pricing win in the final week of the Grocer 33 year, its fourth win from four appearances over the past 12 months”. The analysis showed that Morrisons was in the third position with an average shopping basket value of £45.44. It was followed by Tesco at £47.19 and Sainsbury’s at £47.71.

Speaking about this, the head of buying at Aldi said, “This result shows that yet again we are Britain’s lowest-priced supermarket, which is a key reason why more than a million new shoppers have switched to Aldi from more expensive supermarkets during the last 12 months”.
