    They are not hiding anything. Price comparison sites only list supermarkets they can make money from, they can't make money from Morrisons, Lidl and Aldi, so they don't list them.

    Price comparison sites make money by displaying the prices of items from supermarkets, when you visit the comparisons site, then click one of the links to the supermarket site and buy something the comparison site gets a commission.

    As Morrisons, Lidl and Aldi don't have web sites where you can buy things, the comparison sites can't make any commission. So they don't bother to display the prices of those supermarkets.

    I also suspect that as those supermarkets don't have web sites where you can buy, they don't produce the data a comparison site would need.

    Morrisons are working on a site where you can buy groceries and have them delivered, so in the future may appear on comparison sites.

    So why not just pop in one week and do your shop?
