I cooked roast dinners from Aldi and Iceland to see if fresh or frozen is cheaper and was shocked by the result
As households continue to struggle with rising bills amid the cost of living crisis, it's not surprising that shoppers are making big changes.The most recent retail data shows that grocery inflation is at a new high, hitting 18.2% over the year to February, which is the fastest food price increase since August 1977.With meat among the products hit with the biggest hikes, shoppers are turning to the freezer aisles for cheaper packs.
If anything, the added upfront costs - such as £2.40 for a litre bottle of sunflower oil and £2.79 for that 400g block of cheese - is just another indicator of why so many would be choosing frozen over fresh right now. It's probably no surprise that the frozen meal worked out cheaper overall - but I was shocked by how little I saved.
Then there's the issue of waste. With a few leftover carrots from the fresh bag, it's hit and miss whether they'll actually get used before turning to mush.
