UK's cheapest supermarket this summer named as it beats rival by pennies
Which? set out to find out June's cheapest supermarket by comparing the price of 79 products. Consumer champion Which? has revealed which UK supermarket has been the cheapest for shoppers this summer. They conducted a price comparison on 79 items across the eight major supermarkets to find the best value from June 2025. While the result may not be surprising for some, there was fierce competition for the top stop as there were only pennies separating first and second place. By comparing the price of dozens of products across the stores, Which? has once again crowned Aldi the cheapest supermarket. On average across the month, the total bill at Aldi came to £131.52. However with just 35p of a difference, Lidl came in second place with an average spend of £131.87 when done with the Lidl Plus loyalty app. When calculated without the app, the spend rose to £131.89, reports the Mirror. The selected 79 items included a variety of own-brand and brand items, including Hovis bread, Birds Eye Peas, butter and milk. Which? also conducted a bigger shopping price comparison that included 196 items. For this test Aldi and Lidl were excluded as they do not sell a lot of the same products as the bigger supermarkets. In terms of the larger shop, Asda was crowned the winner with an average cost in June of £484.60. Coming in second place was Tesco, with an average bill of £492.86 when purchased with a Clubcard. However, without the loyalty Clubcard, the price of the shopper shot up to £528.45 on average. For both of the comparisons the analysis included special offer prices and loyalty prices where applicable. However, multibuys were not included. Unsurprisingly, Waitrose was the most expensive supermarket for both the smaller and larger shops, with the average bills coming in at £178.64 and £554.68 respectively. Speaking on Aldi's win of smaller shop, Which? retail editor Reena Sewraz said: "Aldi has once again bagged the title of the UK's cheapest supermarket according to our latest price analysis, with Lidl hot on its heels – just 35p behind." She added: "The bigger trolley of groceries shows that Asda continues to be one of the cheaper supermarkets - beating membership prices at Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons. "With food bills still squeezing household budgets, it pays to be savvy as our analysis shows simply choosing one supermarket over another could save you as much as £70 on a large shop." For those wanting to save a bit of extra money in the supermarket each month, there are a few tricks you can try. Discounts are a sure way to save some cash, so shoppers are advised to lookout for yellow stickers in store or discounts and voucher codes on websites such as HotUKDeals and LatestDeals. Alternatively, shoppers could try the downshift challenge where you swap your branded goods for those with supermarket-own labels. Shoppers can also make changes at home to help save money. Choosing to meal prep can help shoppers not waste their money on impulse buys, while freezing any leftovers from meals will also help with food waste. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Ring doorbell owners are obsessed with £16 accessory that boosts their battery – special code takes 20% off
All recommendations within this article are informed by expert editorial opinion. If you click on a link in this story we may earn affiliate revenue. It also helps save money too - but check list of compatible Ring models first POWER UP Ring doorbell owners are obsessed with £16 accessory that boosts their battery – special code takes 20% off Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POPULAR Ring doorbell accessory has seen its price slashed once again, taking £24 off the usual cost. The Ring Solar Charger cuts down on the amount of times you need to re-charge the battery throughout the year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Check full list of Ring devices it's compatible with below Credit: Ring / Amazon 2 Accessory reduces the frequency you need to charge up the battery manually Credit: Ring / Amazon It also eases the nuisance of having to take apart the Ring to get the battery out. And in doing so, it also helps reduces your electricity bill too. With the summer months looming, it's the right time for a Ring Solar Charger in the UK. "I've had mine since the end of February and I've not had to charge mine since," one buyer on HotUKDeals previously wrote. "Really made a difference for me." But others cautioned it won't keep the battery going forever. "It has decreased the frequency of me needing to change the battery but it really doesn't keep it topped up all the time - even in direct sunlight," another commented. The Ring Solar Charger normally costs £40 if you buy from Ring directly. At the moment, high rated eBay seller Red Rock UK has the official device listed for £19.95. But there's a special discount code that drops the price even further. Ring introduces new doorbell security features Add discount code MAYPAY20 at the checkout and it'll knock the cost down to £15.95. But the code is only valid until Sunday. Will the Ring Solar Charger work for me? According to Ring, battery-powered doorbell can stay charged even longer than before with just three to four hours of direct sunlight every day. "For best results, install facing south if located in the northern hemisphere; install facing north if located in the southern hemisphere," the company says. It's also important to point out that the Ring Solar Charger only works on certain models. These are: Ring Doorbell 3 Ring Doorbell 3 Plus Ring Doorbell 4 Ring Doorbell Plus Ring Doorbell Battery Pro All prices in this article were correct at the time of writing, but may have since changed.
