    There's an app called comparasaurus but I've not used it and read that it's quite glitchy.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Interesting how few folk have commented on this.  Maybe not many here used it?

  • I use it & did not know it was shutting down. Drat. It’s so useful.

  • It's a shame.  I've used it regularly for years and it's been improving recently, with more retailers included (although Aldi have been poorly represented, which is unfortunate).  However, it's not as though I was paying for the information, so I don't feel I have cause to grumble; it just means I have to make more effort to go through the individual websites for the info I need.  To be honest, I've used it recently purely to find out where I can buy certain things, rather than for price comparisons.

    I will miss it.  I don't tend to use it for personal shopping but it's great when buying things like Easter eggs for the PTA raffle.

    Here's a copy of the email. It went to it's correct subscribed address, from a proven mysupermarket server, so I don't suspect scam mail.
    " Dear mySupermarket users,

      After 14 years of service to UK shoppers, the mySupermarket website and mobile application will be taken down
      from March 1st, 2020 as we shift our activity toward other business areas.

      We would like to take this opportunity to thank the tens of millions of you who have used our services over the
      years and who have contributed to its amazing success.

      It has been our pleasure and privilege to serve you and to share this journey with you.
      Thank you and goodbye!
      Gilad Simhony, CEO

    It's not one I use often but do for occasional buy items. I'll miss it for that

    Look on the Food & Grocery Shopping thread, where there are plenty of fellow mourners to be found.
