Annual saving = weekly spend × 52 × switching discount rate for store tier pair

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.
