Supermarket that scrapped its Aldi and Lidl price match is cheaper than them both for shopping essentials

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A supermarket which has scrapped its Aldi and Lidl Price Match scheme is working out cheaper than them both for a basket of shopping essentials.

Asda revealed earlier this week that it was bringing the scheme to an end after just 12 months, saying it's focusing on its 'own great Asda Prices not competitor comparisons'.

Aldi was quick to jump on the announcement, making a joke out of it on social media. But it seems the decision to scrap the scheme hasn't harmed its prices, as this week it's working out cheaper than both retailers in our price comparison for the fifth week running.

In fact it's cheaper than all the supermarkets, with its bill for the basket of essentials - including tea bags, coffee, bread, butter, milk, beans, chicken and mince - coming to £12.58.
