Aldi and Lidl maintain pressure on UK supermarkets

Half of British households shopped at Aldi or Lidl at least once over the summer as the discounters kept up their pressure on the “big four” supermarkets there.

Latest till-roll figures from Kantar Worldpanel reveal that supermarket price inflation fall for the eleventh quarter in a row to stand at 0.2% in the 12 weeks to August 17, leaving overall sales growth at another 10-year low of 0.8%.
