By Ian Fletcher PUBLISHED: 17:24 EST, 15 December 2013 | UPDATED: 05:31 EST, 16 December 2013 Tesco has ousted Asda as Britain’s cheapest supermarket for Christmas among the big five retailers. A survey of the price of 33 ‘essential’ seasonal products – from turkeys to satsumas – by trade magazine The Grocer found that Tesco’s basket cost £135.80 – 41p cheaper than Asda. There was little to choose between all the supermarkets, with Morrisons adding up to £136.93, Sainsbury’s on £145.14 and Waitrose at £147.55.
