Grocery basket comparison
Updated 2 months ago
The grocery basket comparison lets you select two stores and see which one is cheaper based on your actual purchases over the past 12 months. The comparison includes S Group and K Group stores.
What is the grocery basket comparison and how does it work?
The grocery basket comparison compares the price levels of two different stores. Select two stores that matter to you and see where your grocery shopping would cost less.
How does the comparison work?
The service includes your purchases from the past 12 months. This way, the comparison is made based on the products you actually buy and need.
The comparison always uses current prices:
Price data is no more than two days old
The prices of compared products are from the same day in both stores
The service retrieves prices from online stores daily
You can compare S Group and K Group stores with each other.
How accurate is the comparison?
Not all products have a comparable equivalent in the other store. The service shows transparently:
What percentage of your purchases are comparable
An indicative estimate for all purchases
The estimated savings for non-comparable products as well
Does the grocery basket comparison take into account membership benefits or special offers?
The comparison focuses on regular-priced products. This keeps the comparison unbiased and clear.
What special offers does the comparison include?
The grocery basket comparison includes special offer products that are available to all customers without a membership card.
What does the comparison NOT include?
The comparison does not include:
Quantity discounts (e.g. 5 products for 2 euros)
Member-only special prices
Membership program benefits (Bonus, Plussa)
Store-specific offers in physical stores
Why is this?
Discounts change daily and discount types vary between retailers, so a regular price comparison provides the clearest picture.
What stores and products are included in the grocery basket comparison?
Stores included
Currently, all openly available price data and store locations from the web are included. The service compares S Group and K Group stores whose price data is openly available online.
What products are compared?
The service aims to compare all your purchases made over the past 12 months. However, not all products have comparable equivalents in the other store's selection with current pricing.
The service displays products sorted by the largest price difference.
Why are not all products included?
The service only shows products that are comparable with each other and available in both stores.
For example, fruits, vegetables and weighed products from service counters often use store-specific EAN codes. This makes their comparability less comprehensive than packaged dry goods.
