Supermarkets, however, also have a vital role, given that they are the main place that most people buy their food in the UK. Our Affordable Food For All campaign has highlighted the important support they can provide by ensuring that affordable ranges are available, targeting their promotions so they support people most in need and by providing clear and transparent pricing. Which? is now calling on supermarket bosses to ensure budget ranges that support a healthy diet are available in convenience stores, especially in areas where people are struggling the most. They must also make it easier for all customers to work out which items offer the best value for money by making sure their pricing is clear and easily comparable. ” To identify store size we used the roof size as a proxy, the data for which was provided by Geolytix. Small stores have a roof size less than 280m2, mid sized stores between 280m2 and 1,400m2, large stores between 1,400m2 and 2,800m2 and very large stores over 2,800m2. For ease of analysis we then combined mid and large stores to create the mid-large category used throughout the analysis. The values reported here are medians and the boundaries are the same as used in the Priority Places for Food Index. Asda has very few small stores in the UK and so we did not include any small Asda stores in our study. The small stores referred to are made up of a balanced number of Morrisons Daily, Tesco Express and Sainsbury's Local stores (see figure 7 below). As part of its Affordable Food For All campaign, Which? is also calling for all supermarkets to make pricing and offers more transparent so that people can easily work out which products offer the best value. As part of its Affordable Food For All Campaign, Which? is holding a Parliamentary event alongside the Food Foundation on Tuesday 25th April encouraging MPs to put pressure on supermarkets to better support their customers during the cost of living crisis.

The varieties you should be looking for are Maris Pipers, King Edwards or Vivaldi. We used a stratified random sampling framework with stores chosen to create a broadly even balance between: Heat up your cream or milk prior to adding it to your sieved mash so that it will combine more easily. Source: Which? analysed data provided by Mystery Shoppers. Data was collected 21 February - 24 March 2023.

Our research shows that many people are finding it increasingly difficult to afford food and having to make some very difficult choices. The government has a crucial role providing a nutritional safety net and ensuring that people are adequately protected. Low-income families simply can’t afford to travel to the larger supermarkets and are forced by their environments into using smaller stores. A Food Foundation survey in January found that 78% of lower income households said they’d like retailers to make budget ranges available in every store.”

Waxy potatoes are a no-no, meaning anything like a Charlotte , Ratte, Desiree or Jersey Royal is strictly ruled out. They are more likely to hold their shape, so when you start to break down the cell walls of the potato through boiling and mashing, they give you more of a wallpaper paste than a perfectly fluffy mash. This week, StokeonTrentLive decided to put Aldi to the ultimate test to see just how much you can get for your money. I was also relying on the fact that most people would already have basic seasoning such as salt and pepper - and some type of cooking oil - already in their cupboards.With this title, however, comes great responsibility.
