AVOID THE ENERGY PRICE INCREASE! Aldi shoppers EXEMPT from impending £149 energy price increase

5 September, 2024

• Brits could save up to £30 by switching to Aldi – enough to cover the average household bills increase of £12.42 per month
• The latest research from consumer group Which? has revealed Aldi is the UK’s Cheapest Supermarket for August

With energy bills set to rise by 10%, equivalent to £149 when the new price cap is introduced next month, families up and down the country will be looking for ways to cut everyday spending in order to account for this cost. Thankfully, as revealed by consumer champions Which? this week, shoppers can beat the energy price increase thanks to supermarket Aldi.

Researchby consumer group Which? has found that shoppers could save £30.31 each week by switching from Waitrose to Aldi last month[1] – and with the average energy bill due to rise by £12.41 per month for most households, this saving will more than cover the difference and make those switching to Aldi exempt from feeling the effects of the energy price hike.

Those who thought they might be getting a good deal when they use their Nectar or Clubcard are still better off shopping at Aldi — even when loyalty cards are used.

Consumer group Which? included loyalty prices in its monthly Cheapest Supermarket price comparison, looking at the cost of groceries and household essentials. The results showed Sainsbury’s to be £19.05 more expensive, while Tesco was £13.04 dearer, solidifying the message that the only place to get Aldi prices is at Aldi.

The full results are below: 

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “We’ve always promised our customers that we will never be beaten on price, and when looking at the Which? analysis, the results speak for themselves. Our ongoing commitment to providing shoppers with the very best, for less clearly shines through when customers see how much money they can save simply by switching to Aldi. Families can enjoy good quality food without breaking the bank thanks to Aldi – and that these savings are a real help for those who will be feeling the pinch next month.”
