The discounter supermarkets are more expensive than all of their "big four" rivals, according to new research.

lol on the radio today, a survey showed netto and lidl cheaper then the "big four", i suppose its whos report you read, i still find asda the cheapest!

yep it says Asda is the cheapest but what it says about the others was that if you buy the budget items from the big 4 ('No frills' as it was in another old shop) then they worked out at a lot cheaper than the discounters.

I have to agree really. We were going to Netto and Lidl for quite a while but I started geting peeved at the lack of some of the vital things and the price of some others and have since gone back to Tescos. I would go to Asda or Sainsburys rather than Tescos but I live uphill.

One fine example is that although Bachelors noodles are 40p(ish) the tesco homebrand ones are 8p compared to Lidls at 18p

imho a lot of lidl/netto/aldi stuff is "own brand" products with fancier labels
