'Quite expensive' supermarket crowned nation's favourite for fifth time

Marks & Spencer leads UK supermarket satisfaction with 78% customer score and five-star ratings, despite receiving only two stars for value for money.

  • Last year, Which? named Marks & Spencer the UK's favourite supermarket for the fifth year running after canvassing more than 3,500 people and awarding it a 78% customer score.
  • Survey responses highlighted top marks for Marks & Spencer, a supermarket chain, with shoppers calling it 'quite expensive' and giving it only two stars for value for money.
  • Data show Tesco and Aldi both scored 76% in-store, with Aldi the only supermarket awarded the in-store WRP badge, while Ocado and Sainsbury's secured online recognition with 80% and 79%.
  • This outcome underlines how shoppers weigh quality against price as M&S's weaker value rating prevented it from achieving Which? WRP recognition, shaping retailer reputations.
  • Price-Conscious trends and loyalty offers will shape retailer strategies going forward as Aldi leads on affordability amid cost-of-living pressure and shoppers cite Clubcard discounts as decisive.
