Food reviewer Becca put strawberries from Aldi, Tesco and Waitrose to the test to see if the different priced berries tasted the same -and the results baffled her15:08, 27 Jul 2026Updated 15:08, 27 Jul 2026Strawberries are finally in season across the UK, offering Brits the chance to savour delicious, juicy fruit. But if you don't have the time or space to grow your own, most supermarkets are offering British strawberries in their fresh produce section.‌However, you'll soon notice that packs of British strawberries can vary wildly in price depending on where you shop, with stores like Aldi and Lidl selling the berries for much cheaper price than places such as Waitrose and M&S. But does a heftier price tag actually mean a better-tasting berry? This is what food reviewer Becca, known online as 'beccaeatseverything', set out to discover, picking up packs from three different supermarkets to put them to the ultimate taste test.‌"Let's conduct a little experiment," Becca said in her TikTok video. "I have got the cheapest, most expensive, and mid-price strawberries from the supermarket. So let's try them and see which one tastes the best."‌Aldi - £1.19"Gonna start with the cheapest ones," Becca revealed, holding up a pack of 'wonky' strawberries from Aldi. "Aldi actually do a cheaper version that are 99p. I couldn't get them, they were completely sold out."So does a lower price mean an inferior fruit? Becca plucked one of the berries from the punnet and took a bite — and was instantly won over, declaring it "the most perfect strawberry I have ever seen in my life", leaving her baffled as to how it had ever been branded as wonky in the first place.Taking a bite, she remained equally enthusiastic, saying: "It's juicy, it's got a sweetness, there's a little bit of tartness, but there's a good flavour. They are not the sweetest strawberries I've ever had, but they've got a lot of flavour and for the price, I'm impressed." She went on to award them an impressive nine out of ten, adding: "That's gonna be hard to beat."‌Tesco - £2.70For the mid-range option, Becca had picked up a pack of Tesco British strawberries for £2.70, noting they were available for £2.50 online. Upon taking a bite, she was immediately let down, declaring them "tasteless"."They might look really red and plump and juicy, but they do not taste it," she said. "They are watery."She went on to acknowledge that different strawberry varieties naturally carry slightly different flavour profiles, with some being sweeter than others — but these particular ones failed to win her over. "It has a bit of a sweeter taste, but not in like a nice strawberry sweet taste," she said. "It more just tastes like sort of sugar water."‌Waitrose - £4"Finally, we have the most expensive ones," Becca revealed. "These were even more expensive than the M&S Red Diamond strawberries, which says it all."Content cannot be displayed without consentShe went on to reveal she'd selected the Waitrose No. 1 speciality strawberries, which had set her back £4 for a pack. But does the hefty price tag live up to the taste? Becca picked out 'the most perfect looking strawberry' to put to the test. And the flavour certainly didn't let her down, as she declared: "Now that is what a strawberry tastes like.Article continues below"Genuinely, when you think of strawberry-flavoured things, this is the taste," she said. "They got bite to them, they are juicy, they're a little bit sweet, but they've also got that nice tartness that [a] strawberry should have."The berries ultimately scored nine out of ten — matching Aldi's variety. Yet Becca was quick to point out that this didn't necessarily put them on equal footing. She clarified that her scores were based on value relative to flavour, arguing that at just £1.19, the Aldi strawberries were 'absolutely banging' and incredible value for money.That said, if you're willing to splash out a little more on your fruit, the Waitrose strawberries came out on top overall. Becca explained: "However, they are really expensive and so therefore, they have to jump through a few more hoops to get those higher scores. And it's done that."
