Supermarket loyalty is decreasing, according to the latest research: only 12% of shoppers claim loyalty to just one supermarket brand, with most (70%) shopping across two to three different stores.

The figures, from a new survey by Valassis Limited, the UK’s largest coupon and voucher services provider, reveal that there is even less loyalty during the festive season, particularly among female shoppers, with just 10% of women stating they would stay loyal to their main regular supermarket.
