Saving money on food means shopping smart and getting the best prices at the supermarket - a pretty time consuming task. Food prices are increasing at the same time households are feeling the squeeze of the cost of living crisis.

That's why Manchester Evening News set out to compare the price of eight food basics over three weeks. Noticeable rises in these items - a loaf of bread, a two-pint bottle of milk, coffee, teabags, butter, beans, chicken breasts and mince - can fluctuate week to week.In previous weeks we've seen rises in milk, chicken and butter, so here's the lowdown on the most affordable supermarket at the moment - plus lists of what everything cost.

We've also increased the price of Aldi's mince to reflect its 20% fat mince at £1.89, rather than the cheaper 25% fat for £1.69 which was previously the only one available.

The changes mean that Asda has swiped the 'cheapest' crown from Aldi for the first week - coming in at £9.44 for the lot.It pipped the retailer to the top spot by just two pence, with Lidl just six pence behind.Tesco's bill was £9.78, followed by Morrisons at £9.98 and Sainsbury's at £10.55.
