When you see the kind of savings that can be made by comparing prices, it is worth the time and effort to look at sites like mysupermarket.com, as unless you have money to burn, you may be surprised to see the quite large differences in prices between stores.

Websites like these can save you hundreds of pounds a year, good enough reason for me to visit them!

Online grocery shopping may worth for people those avoid spending time in super market however most of the people would rather prefer buying grocery visiting a supermarket or ordering over phone for the local dealer those provide home delivery.

Do you actually loose anything by using this service as you save time having to go to the supermarket, you potentially get the groceries delivered to your door for free allowing you to spend quaolity time with family or friends instead, you avoid the dreaded supermarket queue, and you might save a bit of money and get introduced to healthier food options… where is the downfall??

I’d rather be sitting at a starbucks with a nice coffee ordering my groceries online than trying to find parking and standing in line to pay for my groceries. At least for the everyday stuff

I'm all for buying stuff online but grocery shopping is a social institution not to be messed with. You get to experience road rage on the way to the supermarket, spend hours looking for a car park. Wonder aimlessly down the aisles looking for every item on your list, queue up 10 deep and then be hit on by all kinds of perverts. Finish that off with losing your car in the maze like car park and more road rage on the way home. Yup, online grocery shopping is just not worth it. Irene Irene Green lasers rulz

I think there are many aspects of life where we should stick to being old fashion. SHopping is one of them!

This site is for family type shoppers and does have a great value for the committed grocery deal hunter. There are a few issues, however:

1. The feeds are based only upon online shopping prices. In the US, online shopping has very limited reach (Peapod, Alberston’s, etc). Online grocery tends to have higher prices, so savvy shoppers in the US won’t likely embrace it as easily

2. Grocery chains hate these types of sites because they want to create loyalty with their shoppers. That doesn’t happen with this site, obviously. It’s be easy for these chains to block feeds if they wanted to, and experience in the US tells me most would.

3. It’s a niche of a niche market. Coupon users put it many hours to get savings, but this type of site doesn’t give you the kind of savings that a simple paper coupon is the US can give you.

4. I see sites in the US like redplum.com that’s owned by coupon giant Valassis as likely the type of site that would do something like this is the US but easier. They have all the grocery and CPG guys already doing business with them.

5. The winner in the US will create value and LESS work for the consumer to find a good deal at their grocery chain

The UKs public figures are scrutinised down to the last penny, the media are hungry for scandal so politicians and public figures have to be extremely careful not to be corrupt or they get publicly tarred and feathered.

Honestly , people go shopping to their nearest store. Its not like everyone has access to all the different stores or can be bothered to shop for items in the different stores. people go local and shop for most of their things in their known store.

No wonder a site like this has taken 3 years to shift. its even getting free tv promotions from one of the major 3 supermarkets in the uk, i still would not use.

The likes of Aldi , netto , lidl are becoming more popular as the british feel the pinch since were taxed at every level and get nothing for it.

If your greedy or connected in the uk your fine. Average Joe is too busy worrying about their bills to use this site. Heck even our politicians have their hands in the tills. In what other nation can a politician make the tax payer pay for their whole years worth of groceries.
Corruption isn’t only in the third world.

I figure the target audience of British family shoppers will probably not lose money by using this site, I don’t think many people’s time in the evening is as expensive as yours.

I don’t know what $260 buys in the US but £130 could buy a decent camera or some sports equiptment here.

I’m suprised people scoff at saving money.

Holy Crap David Oxley, you could take your family on vacation with that. I’d venture to guess I’ve wasted more than $260 worth of my time tooling around with this rather than just going to the store and getting it over with.

@TechcrunchBook, I would say this is hand to most people who do basially the same shop every week. I am one, we buy practically the same things every week so if I spend one evening doing this and get just $5 off my bill then I’ve saved $260 a year.

Wow, I’d use something like that in the US if I could. That’s a great idea.
