Wed 02 Feb 2009NCA price survey shows 'evidence of growing competition'
While there is still very little difference in the price of a basket of branded products across the Republic’s main supermarket chains, the gap between the cheapest and the dearest has widened marginally, according to the latest grocery price survey published by the National Consumer Agency this morning.
The survey also shows that the gap between own-brand products in the big four supermarkets, Dunnes Stores, Tesco, Superquinn and Supervalu and the German discount stores Lidl and Aldi, although still significant, has narrowed since the agency’s last survey in August of last year.
