The organisation also found shoppers who regularly stocked up at Aldi could save a whopping £393 a year compared to the priciest contender on the list. This title went to Waitrose; the British supermarket chain was found to be the most expensive supermarket for every month in 2024 apart from September.
In December 2024, a typical Waitrose shop could cost nearly £500, and more precisely an average total of £458.12. Research conducted by Which? showed a shopping list of 56 everyday items - including milk and butter - would cost shoppers £100.29 at Aldi if purchased during the festive month.
