I LOVE THIS THREAD! Thanks everybody xx

I've made a list of things to do to help reduce our spends further and I'd like to try Asda home delivery (we don't have one near us). I thought I'd do a check through mysupermarket first - am I right in thinking I have to 'shop' through Tesco and then it compares with the other supermarkets? Our local is a Sains so it would be easier if I could do it through Sains first that's all. If anyone has understood what I mean, have a medal!

EDIT: oh okay, this time it's let me choose which supermarket, couldn't do that before! I'm bright me

Well go on my supermarket
click on the tesco icon
put items in your trolley
it will give you the price comparisons and it will also recommend swapping various item-loose pears(on offer) for bagged pears and suchlike so not only will it compare between the stores but it will also help you make the wisest choices.
If you are happy with your comparison and still want to buy at tesco it says something like: take trolley to tesco.
I didnt get that far tho as I only wanted to compare what was already in my asda trolley.
The only rthing I didnt figure out, was how to "empty " the trolley and start again.
