REVEALED FOR A TROLLEY LOAD OF GROCERIES The website says: “We also compared a shopping trolley packed with 175 items (the original 78 plus 97 more). This included a greater selection of
branded items, such as Branston baked beans and Flash cleaning spray, that aren’t typically available all year round in the discounter supermarkets. “Asda, at £299.78, was by far the
cheapest of the traditional supermarkets. It was a staggering £103.04 cheaper than online-only Ocado - the greatest difference in prices that we’ve seen to date. “Grocery prices at
Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco were similar, with around £12 separating the three supermarkets.” However, overall the trolley prices in Lidl topped the leaderboard for June with a trolley
of 78 items costing just £72.02. On average, shopped would’ve paid £72.02 at Lidl for a trolley of 78 items, which was narrowly beat by rival Aldi where a trolley load cost just 21 pence
more at £72.23. Lidl and Aldi don't always post every single one of their grocery items online, meaning it can sometimes be hard to compare to other supermarkets. Which? says: “In April
and May we were unable to include Aldi and Lidl as they don’t list all of their prices online and, due to lockdown, we were unable to send researchers into stores and check prices. “But in
June, with lockdown restrictions beginning to ease, we were able to start checking prices in stores again.” PRICES OF A TROLLEY FULL OF 175 GROCERIES AT SUPERMARKETS IN THE UK: * Asda -
£299.78 * Morrisons - £312.38 * Sainsbury’s - £317.99 * Tesco - £324.03 * Waitrose - £367.19 * Ocado - £402.82 Asda also topped the leaderboard for the cheapest supermarket in May too. That
was the third time in a row that Asda topped their table for the cheapest online supermarket.
