Aldi named the cheapest supermarket of the year for 2022
Aldi has been named the Cheapest Supermarket of the Year for 2022 by consumer group Which?, marking the retailer’s seventh consecutive win for the accolade.
Which? conducted its annual price comparison of UK supermarkets and found that Aldi – which has stores in Flint, Aldi, Mold, Broughton and Buckley – was the cheapest option for a basket of 48 products in December, as well as the cheapest overall for the year.
The survey compared the prices of groceries and everyday household essentials such as bread, milk, and eggs.
Aldi’s success as the cheapest supermarket in the UK is no surprise to many, as the retailer has consistently offered low prices on a wide range of products.
The company’s focus on value and efficiency has allowed it to keep prices down and attract a loyal customer base.
