Prices were independently collected in two branches of each of J. Sainsbury's and Asda and three branches of Morrisons around Great Britain between 21 July 2008 and 23 July 2008.
Where a product is not found in a particular store, (this may indicate it is not stocked) this product is shown as 'not found' (N/F).
If a price differs between branches then the most common price found is used. If there is no common price, the product is shown as 'not found' (N/F).
The prices published are representative but may not always be identical to what you will see in your local store.
In Northern Ireland, competitor prices may vary, but Tesco prices are the same as in Great Britain, apart from a small number of locally sourced lines which are clearly marked in the Price Checker results.
Equivalent products are always compared - e.g. Tesco's blue and white striped "Value" brand is always compared with the other supermarkets' own budget brands.
If a product is sold out in a particular store, the checkers record the price on the shelf.
We always aim to make a fair comparison. If the price collectors can't find the product in the same size in a competitor's stores, they take the nearest size and convert the price pro-rata. If there is no size that will fairly compare with the Tesco product, then we do not include it.
If a product is price marked and a different price is shown on the shelf then the lower price is taken.
We try to ensure that the prices displayed on this facility are fair, representative and accurate. However, in an independently collected survey of this size, it is always possible that an incorrect price may be quoted.
The survey only covers superstores, so smaller stores such as Tesco Metro and Express and J.Sainsbury's Local and Central are not included.
All products subject to availability. Some products are only available in selected stores.
