Richard Thornton, Communications Director at Aldi, said: “We know that with the rising pressures of the cost of living, customers are looking for ways to save without having to compromise on the quality British food they love.

“Aldi continues to offer great quality products at unbeatable prices, which is why we believe British shoppers have voted us the nation’s favourite supermarket yet again.”

In 2023, Aldi also attracted more than half a million additional customers and saw customers switch spending from every major UK supermarket, including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, M&S and Lidl, to Aldi.
