There's one at:
www.smart-shop.uk
...which is pretty good at comparing products across 6 supermarkets - Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Ocado (M&S) and Waitrose.

Your site, presumably, or one that you’re promoting?  Seems to consist essentially of selected products only, with presumably click through commission.

Go to My Lists in the main menu (sign in as guest if you want a quick overview).

This doesn't appear to work. You can't search for anything.

Trolley.co.uk has just been revamped and I'm so impressed. Now even includes Wilko, B&M and Home Bargains 👍🏻👏🏻

I'm not that impressed. It still doesn't show price per unit, which is a basic ask.

Price per unit would certainly be useful, but otherwise I would say this site is a good effort so far - not quite as capable yet as Mysupermarket was, but easily the closest alternative I've seen in terms of design, ease of comparison, actually listing all products and being able to save favourites and receive price alerts (though come to think of it, I have yet to receive any of those... I hope it's actually working, as that is another essential feature in my view. And no, they're not in my spam folder!).

You're searching in the 'create new list' box Janet, so you've just created a new list called 'Barefoot Merlot'. 

It needs a lot of work still, I’m afraid. A couple of basic searches in a newly created list failed to produce anything like the full range of products available in the store selected, and the second produced nothing at all before timing out.

You might get some ideas from www.trolley.co.uk (nothing to do with me), which works very well.

What website are you on Doc? There's been no lists created other than Janet's Barefoot Merlot. I suspect you're using a different site. 

www.smart-shop.uk

Tried it out as a guest.

p.s. as there seems to be some confusion between sites going on here, just for clarity - my comments were referring to Trolley.co.uk as mentioned a couple of quotes back. I'm just glad that so many people are at least trying to fill the gap that Mysupermarket left behind!

Even when I tried to create a list, this didn't work, so I tried a search instead. Perhaps it works now as it should but it didn't when I tried.

I've put some Barefoot Merlot in your Barefoot Merlot list Janet (incidentally Asda are doing 6 bottles get 25% off) to go with the hula hoops. I've also put a bottle of Burdizzo in there - the name means something unspeakable in Italian. Don't look this up if you're eating. 

Thanks, but I don't want the wine or crisps. I was just attempting to try out the site as a guest. It doesn't have the price comparison per unit and only covers 6 stores, which makes it less than worthwhile for me.

Hi everyone. Hope you're all staying safe and mentality sound during these times. 😣
I'm sure everyone here have used MySupermarket and saved tonnes of money over the years. Now that the website is closed, I'd like to get a thread going to list all the best groceries comparison websites.

If you have used any or currently use a comparison website or even an app, please post it here.

https://www.trolley.co.uk/ is great and seems to be improving as time goes on

http://www.shelfscraper.co.uk/ can also be useful
