Tesco<\/a>, which is most expensive for the 17th consecutive week, at \u00a313.34.<\/p>\nDespite working out cheapest, Aldi disagrees with our comparison, saying it doesn’t take into account the difference in quality, insisting, for example, that its own Diplomat Red Label tea bags and its coffee are ‘higher quality’ than the comparative products used. The supermarket says its tins of beans are also heavier than some of the others.<\/p>\n
An Aldi spokesperson added: \u201cOur promise to customers is that they will make significant savings every time they shop with Aldi, which is why we\u2019ve been named Which? Cheapest Supermarket of the Year for four years running.\u201d<\/p>\n
When it comes to meat however, our comparison includes the cheapest packs of mince from each place and at Aldi and Lidl, along with Morrisons, it’s a 25% fat pack, whereas the others sell 20% fat, which is seen as better quality.<\/p>\n

Asda also disagrees and says that our small sample of products does not represent the fuller picture of prices and does not account for its deals. The supermarket says that, across the board, its Just Essentials range is the largest and cheapest available, alongside Aldi’s.<\/p>\n
An Asda spokesperson said: “We\u2019re focussed on delivering Asda Price and started 2025 as we mean to go on by cutting prices on thousands of products for our customers.<\/p>\n
“While we\u2019re always pleased to be recognised as the cheapest supermarket in any price comparison, eight products don\u2019t reflect the unbeatable value we offer across our full range, both in-store and online. We would encourage shoppers to come in and see this for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
