Wilkinson's often have better prices than those 2 stores.

I didn't know about the maximiles points! How rude, were they planning on informing existing users of this?

That's a fantastic site!

It is sometimes possible to get better deals at other stores such as Morrisons (which does not have an online shopping facility) and £1 stores such as Poundland.

First, it is a young site; second, quite likely that they have a target market which are consumers who do online grocery (& boots) shopping. For instance, whilst I'm well aware of the one pound, poundland, poundstretcher, dollarrama, daiso etc., loyalty (and convenience) matters to me, at least speaking for myself. Also they would add on extra information over time. I wish they don't and just focus on their original target audience and not clutter it, instead simply be the specialist site it is. One only thing I'd like to see on comparison sites, is an alert feature - to alert offers on chosen items.
and they better pay royalties :snow_grin to Martin for bringing in customers for them; but for this site, I wouldn't have heard of them or be constantly reminded to use of this comparison site

Really! I did not spot that! Thanks. I don't think I'll use the site so often then. The new one is not as easy to use. Is there a competitor site doing comparisons because I would happily change now I cannot see the price per set unit like 100ml any more. I know it is still there, but who can read it now it is in grey?!!
