Prices and retailers
What the numbers can tell you
Which supermarket is the cheapest?
It depends on your products, pack sizes, location and current specials. RandBasket compares the basket you actually want.
Are prices the same everywhere?
No. Prices and availability can vary by store, region, account and promotion.
How often are prices updated?
Timing varies by retailer. Check the retailer’s final product and checkout price before buying.
Why can a product or price be missing?
Catalogue coverage, location, stock and source availability differ between retailers. A missing result does not necessarily mean the retailer does not sell the product.
Pack-size comparisons
Comparing like with like
How are different pack sizes compared?
Compatible measurements are converted to price per kilogram, litre or item.
What does the green best-price label mean?
It marks the lowest comparable unit price in the results shown. Products can still differ by brand, ingredients and quality.
Is the cheapest pack always best value?
No. A smaller pack can cost less today while a larger pack costs less per kilogram, litre or item.
