With the current economic crisis on, it’s no wonder that all the big supermarket chains are starting to ‘up their game’ and enter into price wars with their competition. This is great for us, the consumer, as we can take advantage of some fantastic discounts.
As a family who goes out and does their weekly shop in store, it’s been pretty hard to accurately compare just how cheap Tesco’s is against ASDA for example. Personally, I have seen quite a few items cheaper in ASDA over the past few weeks, such as fruit, but with all of the TV advertising Tesco would have us believe say that they are cheaper on nearly everything!
Ordering shopping online has been easier and easier over the past few years, and it’s a convenient way to have your supermarket do some of the ‘grunt work’ if you are ordering heavier items such as cat litter! Being able to save your previous orders makes one click shopping a reality these days, but the downside is trusting the supermarket staff to select the best fruit, for example on the shelves. It doesn’t always happen!
In the same way that beatthatquote.com has helped us save hundreds of pounds on car insurance, a new website has now been launched that now lets you compare your supermarket basket online. Sites like mysupermarket.co.uk allow you to compare prices from Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA and Ocado and even claim to help you save calories!
Amongst other sites, mysupermarket.co.uk is just another great tool for saving money on the essentials. If you wouldn’t think about buying car insurance without using a price comparison website, why not use them for your grocery shopping?
