Supermarket swipes cheapest crown from Lidl as budget retailer hikes cost of milk, bread and butter
As shoppers face an uphill battle against rising food costs, a supermarket that's been the cheapest for basics since June has been wiped off the top spot.
We've seen prices yo-yo during that time, some of which have shocked shoppers, like when Morrisons went from being the cheapest to the most expensive in a matter of weeks.Yet while there have been many changes, there has been one constant since the summer - and that was Lidl keeping its top spot as the cheapest of them all.
It was only last week when Lidl ditched its cheapest £1.72 butter for a £1.99 block. But now the price of that has risen to £2.15. The rises mean to cost of the full Lidl basket - containing milk, a loaf of bread, coffee, teabags, butter, beans, chicken breasts and mince - has risen from £10.88 to £11.12 in a week.
