Built from a real household need
This started because grocery prices became hard to follow and a family shop needed better answers: what is actually cheaper, what is worth the trip, and which offers are real value. Keeping the site online means paying for hosting, data capture, monitoring, checks, email, and the AI/data tools that help clean the mess.
Smarter shopping, lighter footprint
NI Food Compass helps households compare before leaving home, so a weekly shop can be planned around the best value, the right retailer, and the offers that are actually worth the trip. Better planning means fewer extra journeys, fewer impulse buys, and less food or household stock sitting unused in the cupboard.
Practical local guides
The live table is useful, but the bigger goal is to help people understand what they are comparing: unit prices, loyalty deals, pack sizes, dietary needs, travel time, and whether an offer is actually worth it.
How to think about the real basket, not just one tempting offer.
Unit prices Compare per kg, litre, wash, bag or itemPack sizes can mislead. Unit pricing makes rows fairer.
Families Plan regular buys without turning it into homeworkSmall savings on repeat products add up across a household.
Household Laundry, bin bags, shampoo and cleaning productsHousehold products need brand filters and sensible units.
Meat Beef, chicken, pork, turkey, fat bands and burgersMeat comparison only works when similar products are grouped together.
Fish Salmon, cod, haddock, tuna and seafoodFish is important locally, so it gets its own comparison logic.

Project notes
These notes explain the human side of the tool: why it exists, how we compare prices, what still needs fixing, and how families can use the data without becoming spreadsheet goblins.
Plain answers
Useful things to know before relying on any price comparison tool, including this one.
Yes. NI Food Compass is independent and is not owned by Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA, Iceland or any retailer. Retailer names are used so people can identify and compare products.
No. Prices, stock, promotions and delivery options can change quickly. Use the retailer link on each row to verify the final price before buying.
Because shelf prices can mislead. Food often needs price per kg or litre, laundry needs price per wash, and bin liners need price per bag plus size.
Yes. Each product row has a report link. Corrections help improve the public data and make the site more useful for everyone.
For now, baskets are stored in your own browser. Public accounts are not live, so NI Food Compass is not storing named user baskets on the server.
The site may use monthly support, affiliate links or advertising to cover hosting, capture, monitoring and data-quality work. Price ranking should remain based on factual comparison.
