    Seriously, who falls for this nonsense? For every item cut in price, they've hiked the price of another 10 items a little to compensate and offset. As you say, they only list the items that have had their price cut. Prices will constantly increase, its what drives inflation.

    It's not quite as easy as that, you can't just say "let's plug in to the mysupermarket tool" and have it happen over night.

    It's not crippled, it does exactly what it was written to do. It's 100% fully functional.

    haven't tried those supermarket comparison tools, but here in the Ireland we only have the Grocery Kayak app on the play store.
