Methodology

Each week’s price for a product is the price we had recorded for it on the Sunday of that week, taking the cheapest price across the full-catalogue stores that list it for sale. Only products with a recorded price in both the current and the comparison week are counted as compared. A product only appears in the biggest fallers or risers if its price the week before was at least £1.00, the change was at least 20p, a rise was no more than 90% and a fall no more than 70%, and it is a grocery or household product rather than a book, toy, clothing or electrical item, so that a single unreliable reading cannot headline the report. Within each list, groceries come before household, personal care, health and baby products. A category appears in the movement table only if at least 30 of its products were compared. The basket comparison covers Tesco, Sainsbury’s, ASDA and Morrisons, and a category’s basket is only the products all four of those stores carried that week, shown only where that basket reaches 20 products. How often the cheapest store is beaten counts every product all four of those stores carried that week, and a store tied for the lowest price counts as cheapest. This report is a weekly snapshot: the retailer’s own site and the price at the checkout are authoritative.
