Survey: Split your shopping basket to get real value

SPLIT your shopping basket and seek value in different shops, the National Consumer Agency has urged after finding a price difference of just 35c between Dunnes Stores and Tesco.

Anyone lucky enough to have a range of shops available in their community should use them, said NCA chief executive Ann Fitzgerald yesterday.

“As grocery prices go up due to international factors, price and value for money become even more important and our strong advice to consumers is to split their shopping basket, if possible, and to seek value in the range of shops available.”
