Marks and Spencer's Food Halls are the cheapest place to do your grocery shopping in Guernsey at the moment, according to a price comparison carried out at the weekend.
The three Food Halls, at L'islet, St Martins, and the town quay, are all franchises of Creaseys.
Based on the price of a basket of goods on Sunday, M&S was named the cheapest ahead of the Channel Islands Co op, Iceland, Waitrose, Alliance and Morrisons.
Previously, the Co op was named cheapest in December, with M&S having the lowest prices in November, and Alliance being the cheapest for the two months prior to that.

The same basket of goods is priced up at each shop each month. It includes staple items like bread, milk, butter, flour, ketchup, and baked beans.
At the beginning of January, M&S was the cheapest at £33.08 while Morrisons was the most expensive at £34.23.
Interestingly, the cheapest basket of goods has cost £33.08 for the past three months - with the Co-op's basket of goods costing that amount at the beginning of December, and M&S at the beginning of November.
In October, the cheapest basket of goods cost £32.64 at Alliance. Alliance was also the cheapest in September, when the basket of goods cost a penny less at £32.63.
The price comparison was carried out by the women behind Supersavvysavers and is entirely independent of M&S and any other retailer in the island.
Kat Gillespie and Sarah de Carteret launched their website last year, and have run monthly supermarket comparisons since July.
Since then, the island's different retailers have vied for the title of 'cheapest' in Guernsey based on the sample basket of goods.
