This podcast examines recent supermarket comparisons from several UK news outlets.
●
Aldi: This supermarket is consistently ranked as the cheapest option. Articles praise Aldi for its affordable prices on essentials like chicken, mince, and wine. However, Aldi emphasizes that price comparisons should consider the quantity and quality of products, noting its beans are heavier and its tea bags are higher quality than competitors. Aldi's hangover-free Chardonnay is also highlighted, with one reviewer surprised by its authentic wine-like flavor.
●
Lidl: Lidl is another budget-friendly option often vying with Aldi for the top spot in price comparisons. However, one review found Lidl's mince pies disappointing, criticizing the bland pastry and overwhelming candied peel flavor. Lidl's Bolgrad wines from Ukraine are receiving positive attention for their taste and support of a lesser-known wine region.
●
M&S: M&S mince pies consistently earn high marks for their buttery pastry and delicious, boozy filling. They are considered a top choice, though they are more expensive than other options.
●
Sainsbury's: Sainsbury's falls somewhere in the middle regarding price. One review found their mince pies visually appealing but lacking in flavor, with a slightly bitter filling. Sainsbury's is also matching Tesco's offer on Quality Street and Celebrations tubs for £3.95 with a Nectar card.
●
Tesco: Tesco frequently appears in price comparisons, sometimes ranking among the cheapest options. Their mince pies are praised for their homemade appearance, juicy fruit filling, and buttery pastry, earning them the top spot in one taste test. Tesco is offering a limited-time deal on 600g tubs of Quality Street, Roses, Heroes, and Celebrations for £3.95 with a Clubcard.
