No brand snobbery
A tin of chopped tomatoes is a tin of chopped tomatoes. You get like for like on pack size, not on the label.
Loyalty prices count
Clubcard and Nectar discounts are read off your receipt and already deducted, so the gap you see is real.
Local independents too
Farm shops, greengrocers and bakeries near you show up alongside the discounters, ranked by neighbours.
The things almost every household buys every week: milk, bread, eggs, butter, cheese, pasta, rice, flour, oats, tinned tomatoes, beans, lentils, potatoes, carrots, onions, bananas, chicken, mince, tea, coffee, toilet roll, washing-up liquid, nappies. The list grows as new staples turn up on receipts.
Because they are the price floor most households can actually reach. Every big supermarket now runs an Aldi price-match on some lines, so the gap on your receipt is the honest measure of what the shop cost you.
Products are matched on what they are and the pack size, not the label. A 400g tin of chopped tomatoes is compared with a 400g tin of chopped tomatoes. If you chose a brand on purpose, the line still shows the gap; you decide if it was worth it.
Yes. Loyalty discounts are read off the receipt and already deducted before the comparison, so the saving you see is real, not a saving you could only have had with a card you already used.
Farm shops, greengrocers and bakeries listed on LiveCheaper appear alongside the discounters when you are within ten miles of them. They are ranked by neighbours who used them, never by what they pay us.
You do not need to decode them. A line like TSCO RED SPLT LNTL 500G becomes red split lentils 500g and is matched to the staple list, so spelling and abbreviations do not matter. A line that cannot be matched is skipped and counted, never guessed.
