Cost of shopping essentials rises at four of the big supermarkets as same products take the hit
We've heard a lot about Heinz products increasing in price, but the rises are also having an impact on supermarkets' own brand products.
While it may only be pennies, it comes on the back of somewhat relentless hikes for households, many of whom are struggling to cope with the ongoing cost of living crisis which shows no sign of letting up.As well as bean rises at Aldi, Tesco and Sainsbury's, another product that's taken the hit in recent weeks is mince - the item that has fluctuated most in price since we began comparing the cost of the same eight products last March.
The bills at those two supermarkets are now exactly the same for the shopping basket, which comes in at £11.67 at both. But it's still working out cheaper than Asda , which we reported last week had taken the 'most expensive' title from Morrisons for the first time since June, bar one exception.
