How we compared
Regular prices from the chains’ online range in EINI’s database, collected 23 to 24 Sep 2026. For each product the cheapest comparable non-organic product counts, worked out per kilo, litre or piece, without promotions. A product that costs more than twice the middle value of the other chains counts as not comparable (usually the budget line is missing online). Basket quantities are fixed; bigger or smaller packs are converted to them. In-store and regional prices can differ. More on the data & method page.
