Supermarket Switch Savings Calculator
What would you actually save switching supermarkets? Enter your weekly spend and current store tier. The annual saving is often £600–£2,000.
What this means
No waffle. Just the number and how it was worked out.
Formula used
Annual saving = weekly spend × 52 × switching discount rate for store tier pair
Worked example
A household spending £150 per week at a premium supermarket switching to a discount alternative typically saves 20–30%, which is £1,560–£2,340 per year.
Common questions
Does switching supermarket mean lower quality?
Not necessarily. Independent taste tests consistently show discount supermarket own-brand products matching or outperforming premium equivalents across many categories.
How accurate is this estimate?
It is based on published basket price differentials between UK supermarket tiers. Your actual saving depends on what you buy, what brands you require, and which stores are available near you.
