Just three weeks ago the retailer was almost on a par with Lidl
Following anger over its 'relentless' price rises last year, more recently Morrisons was faring much better in our weekly price comparison of grocery essentials.
Earlier this month, its bill for the eight products we've been tracking was just 5p more than the cheapest Lidl, coming in at £11.93 for a two-pint bottle of milk, a loaf of bread, a pack of chicken breasts, a pack of mince, tea bags, coffee, beans and butter. Even budget retailer Aldi was more expensive, at £12 for the shopping basket.But this week that's all changed, as two price rises at the supermarket, on beans and chicken, have pushed it up to £12.
The increase on beans is just 2p, with the Savers tin up from 25p to 27p, but its pack of two chicken breasts has risen by a whopping 15%, from £2.25 to £2.59.Last week Tesco, Aldi and Sainsbury's all reduced the cost of a two-pint bottle from £1.30 to £1.25 and this week Lidl, Morrisons and Asda have followed suit.
Lidl's basket remains cheapest for the 13th week running, at £11.83, while Asda has been the most expensive for that same period.Have you made changes to your shopping habits amid the cost of living crisis?
