Supermarket Comparison sites

I used to use Mysupermarket.Com until they messed about and spoiled the site. You now have to laboriously go through each supermarket by itself, which defeats the purpose of a 'comparison' site as far as I am concerned.

Does anyone know if there is a site which compares prices so that you can see at a glance the price of (for instance plain flour) at Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury etc.??

    Ive never used mysupermarket fo shopping before but i did use it to find cheapest price for items.
  • I've also noticed you have to go through every supermarket to find cheaper items since they've revamped their site though if you're looking for a specific item then just click on the image of the particular item you're wanting to purchase, it shows comparisons of other stores.

    One of the other things I've also notice lately about mySupermarket is they tend to show some items as out of stock when they aren't actually even out of stock. I've found myself lately double checking the supermarkets website to see if it's actually in stock. Might be worth bearing this in mind as well.

    Also, another website I tend to check from time to time (quite frequently to be honest) is HotUKDeals. You can also search for what you're wanting to purchase if you're not keen on trawling through every page. You'll find a search box top right hand corner. People tend to post their latest offer finds on there. It's a very good website, very helpful.

    Incidentally, you can also purchase groceries from other websites such as Amazon, HotUKDeals comes in handy for spotting offers such as these. There are also many other stores and websites you may not have thought of purchasing from such as B&M Bargains, Home Bargains, Farmfoods and Savers stores, if you have any of these near you that is.

    And don't forget Aldi and Lidl as their prices tend to be cheaper than the major supermarkets.

    Good luck Beenie!

    CompareSupermarketPrices is good for a quick check.

    Site looks like it was designed a while ago but seems to work.
    Hopefully won't get broken if they ever re-design it!

    edit: link adding thingy seems to be broken! Won't let me add the link.

    Anyway, it's www . nameabove . co .uk !
