Compare before you shop
Supermarket prices, pack sizes and offers can be difficult to compare. NI Food Compass brings captured listings together, with pack prices, unit prices and direct retailer links.
Know where the prices come from
The page starts with a saved selection from the NI Food Compass public catalogue. It checks the published catalogue when you open the page, and searches for additional matches when you compare a list. The Price health panel shows the source check, sample coverage and actual capture dates. A successful source check is not a new retailer price collection.
The bundled fallback prices were captured in April and May 2026. Each listing retains its actual capture date when newer data is loaded. Recorded prices are not a guarantee of today’s price, local stock or delivery availability. Use the last-7-days filter when you only want recent captures.
A plan for the whole list
The planner normalizes product names, combines duplicate lines and compares a shared requested quantity. Use “6 bananas”, “bread 800 g” or “butter 250 g” to specify amounts. When omitted, standard amounts for recognised staples are shown for review: 6 bananas, an 800 g loaf, 250 g butter, 2 litres of milk or 6 eggs. Edit these in the list. Plans buy enough whole packs to cover the request and show any extra amount. Brands can differ. A missing product or unknown pack size makes a plan incomplete; unrelated products never fill that gap. Your cost per extra stop is included in plan comparisons. The saved basket itself shows groceries only.
Careful suggestions
Same-size alternatives require a matching catalogue family, explicit pack size, storage type and selected product labels. They also need a lower recorded pack price and a capture date at least as recent as the original. These checks do not establish identical ingredients, nutritional value or allergen suitability.
Your basket stays with you
Your basket, draft shopping list, budget, named shopping lists and saved products are stored in this browser on this device. They are not synced to an account. Clearing browser data removes them. Download your list if you need a separate copy.
Independent by design
Retailer names identify the source of a listing. They do not imply a partnership or endorsement. Similar listings can have different ingredients, pack sizes or quality, so check the descriptions before deciding.
