The UK’s cheapest supermarket has been named – and it is not Lidl | UK | News
Aldi took the crown back as the UK’s most affordable supermarket and left its competitors, including Lidl, ASDA and Tesco, the consumer group behind the latest price comparison. In 2025, for the first time in 20 months by Lidl, Lidl was the cheapest supermarket of England until the January -June 2025 before a short time passed by Lidl. However, Aldi quickly took back the top place in August and with a basket of 75 branded and labeled product at £ 127.92.
Lidl closely watched with Lidl Plus 128.35 £ 128.35 without pricing and 128.35 £ and ended its short time as the cheapest supermarket. Aldi was 35% cheaper than Waitrose, the most expensive supermark, an average basket of £ 172.61.
Aldi said that since the beginning of the year, customers have invested more than 300 million £ to help customers cut their grocery invoices and have reduced prices in more than 900 daily products in the last few months.
Aldi Britain’s commercial responsible Julie Ashfield said: “Rising inflation meant that many shopping people spend their money more conscious about where they spent their money.
“So we have already invested more than 300 million £ price cut this year and made Aldi customers continue to benefit from the best value.
“We know how important the lowest prices are for our customers, especially when preparing for Christmas, and we continue to offer significant savings compared to the full price supermarkets.”
Aldi also announced that it plans to open 21 brand new stores in the next 13 weeks.
In some places there are Shoreditch in London, Durham in the North East and Kirkintilloch in Scotland.
As of September, he raised his payment of the store assistant to £ 13,02 per hour in the UK and to £ 14.35 in M25 per hour, which made it the country’s highest -paid supermarket.
For long -term employees, wages may increase and hourly rates may rise to £ 13.95.
