Aldi’s reduction in tea bag prices has made it the cheapest major UK supermarket this week, pushing Morrisons into the top spot as most expensive for the first time since last June. Updated comparisons of eight staple items show small shifts across chains, with Tesco and Sainsbury’s also lowering some prices. Several supermarkets dispute the findings, arguing that the basket does not fully represent their value or product comparability, while Morrisons highlights new promotions aimed at improving affordability.
