Asda came in first as the cheapest supermarkets when doing big trolley shopping 97

Shoppers are switching supermarkets to manage their budgets

As per Which?’s report, another big change that was noticed by them, was that Aldi overtook Morrison in terms of market share. According to them, the traditional 'Big Four' supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons) are seemingly no more.

This is because shoppers are readily switching supermarkets to manage their budgets instead of entertaining some sort of brand loyalty when it comes to their grocery runs.

When comparing prices for big trolley shopping, the website took a larger list of items with 149 items (the original 48, plus 101 more). In this case, Asda came in first as the cheapest supermarkets when doing big trolley shopping.
