How Much Does It Cost to Open a Daiquiri Shop
We're always looking for ways we can cut down on the cost of our weekly shop. With food prices rising beyond the rate of inflation, it's important to save where and when we can.
Which? Money has compared the price of an identical basket of shopping between six leading supermarkets and the results found that the most expensive grocer charged almost £9 more than the cheapest alternative – resulting in a difference of 36 per cent.
Using price comparison website Mysupermarket.com, the study looked at the cost of a basket of 10 identical branded products including weekly essentials such as toilet paper, milk, biscuits, tea bags and cereal.
The most expensive basket came from Waitrose with the household essentials totalling up to £32.85.
The cheapest alternative was from Asda, with a weekly shop costing just £24.12 – a saving of £8.73.
Proving that it pays to shop around, the biggest price difference in an individual product was for Hellman's mayonnaise (750ml). It cost £2 in Asda, but more than double the price in Morrisons at £4.42 – a price difference of 221 per cent.

To help you cut the cost of your shopping basket, follow these 5 tips below:
1. Find the cheapest retailer
You can make significant savings by shopping online and comparing your basket between supermarkets. 'Shopping online also allows comparisons of products within supermarkets – many online retailers will suggest cheaper substitutes to products in your basket, saving you even more money,' explain Which? Money.
2. Be wary of supermarket tactics
If you do shop in store, be aware of the tactics used by supermarkets to persuade you to spend more. Tactics include spreading out essential products across the store to make you walk past every aisle, and running 'special offers' which are often too good to be true. Which? explain: 'Our research found that many "discounted" goods had their prices increased immediately before they were reduced, giving you a false saving.'
3. Don't assume branded means better
Supermarkets will charge more for branded alternatives to own-brand products, and more for 'premium' own-brand goods than basic ones. 'In many cases though, these products are produced in the same factory, and sometimes, are identical to branded goods,' they reveal.

4. Hold supermarkets to their price promises
'Many supermarkets make a big deal of their price guarantees, and whilst the details of these price promises vary and they usually only cover branded products, the bottom line is that if your basket of shopping would cost less elsewhere, they'll refund you the difference,' Which? advise.
5. Know the difference between 'use by' and 'best before'
Perishable food comes with a number of labels indicating when a product is at its best, but only one should be taken as a firm deadline as to when food should be consumed by – the 'use by' date. Which? says the other dates, such as 'best before', 'sell by', or 'display until' are only guidelines as to when a product is likely to be at its best, or instructions to the retailer that you can ignore. 'Use your senses to decide whether something that is past its "best before" is still good to consume, rather than throwing it away – your next shop will be correspondingly smaller,' Which? adds.
