MySupermarket + Aldi

Cottage_Economy

I found it quite useful for planning my shopping today and printing off a list, but as others have said not everything is on there at the moment.

I thought the absence of their nice hot and spicy diavolo pizza on the site was an oversight on their part, but it appears they have stopped doing it. Hubby is bereft. It was the only pizza spicy enough to crack his Dominos addiction.

Because they have been touting Asda for far to long.

But why would that effect any decision regarding the other three of the "big 4"?

Well that's what mySupermarket says. I have no idea of whether or not it's right. For example, if you look under 'Savvy Buys' for Aldi, you'll find Nescafe Gold Blend 200g listed at 89p, compared to £5.00 at most other supermarkets, and I'm not quite convinced that one's right.

Well the price in store today was still 85p, so it looks like the mysupermarket prices are not to be relied upon.

I popped into Aldi on the way home from work to grab a few things earlier.

I thought I'd definitely pick up a 500g tub of their sunflower spread amongst other things. It's listed on MySupermarket at an incredible 25p!!

Thought it was too good to be true. It's actualy 75p. Still really cheap (good old Aldi) but 3 times the price listed on MS. I've just checked and it still shows 25p as the price. I noticed a few other pricing mistakes as well.

I understand there will be "teething problems" (did Aldi send them their prices written in squiggly biro?) but I hope this is sorted out very soon. The whole point of the website depends on exact and accurate pricing so it's a bit pointless Aldi being on there if they can't get the basic prices right, especially as they stay pretty much the same week in week out.

That's one point of view. Others might say that mySupermarket's ability to bog things up provides money saving opportunities. It's such a shame that ASDA's price guarantee doesn't cover comparisons with Aldi, otherwise there would be a flood of people taking advantage.:)
