Price comparison services

1. Shopping price comparison services

For general online shopping we can help you find some of the cheapest prices on the internet. The following services cover a wide range of retailers and products and should help you save money when shopping online. Do keep in mind that no single price comparison service covers every retailer, so even lower prices may be available elsewhere - you might therefore also wish to browse retailers via our directory (left hand menu) before finalising a purchase.

Pricerunner

Enter a product name in the search box. Try to be as specific as possible in order to generate the most relevant results. For example, you might enter a brand name, product type and model number. Pricerunner's price comparison search results will open in a new tab or window automatically when you click the "Go" button:

Kelkoo

This popular price comparison service works in the same way - simply enter the name of the product you'd like to see prices for and click on search. Their search results will again open in a new window or tab:

2. Mobile phone price comparisons

To help you compare prices for mobile phones we offer a mobile phone price comparison tool, which compares deals on virtually all currently available mobile phones from a range of dealers and mobile networks.

You can also visit our dedicated mobile phones price comparison site at AMobilePhones.co.uk or browse offers directly with mobile networks and dealers by using our mobiles directory.

3. Utility price comparison and switching services

To help you save on utilities like gas, electricity, broadband and home telephone, we offer access to a number of leading utility price comparison and switching services.

To get the most accurate and informative results from utility price comparison services, you should ideally dig out your old bills so that you can enter real rather than estimated information about your current price plans and your usage levels. Entering this infomation enables utility price comparison sites to offer more accurate illustrations of any savings that you could make by switching suppliers.

For example, for gas and electricity it's best to know your last year's usage either in terms of cost or units of energy (as detailed on your bills), as usage can vary sigificantly depending upon the time of year.

For more switching services, see the utilities section of our online directory.

4. Mobile phone recycling price comparison

For recycling mobile phones, try our mobile phone recycling price comparison tool, below. This compares how much some of the UK's leading mobile phone recyclers are willing to pay for any given handset. You can then visit your preferred provider to secure your deal and get instructions for returning your phone (usually by freepost).

5. Supermarket price comparison

To help you save on supermarket shopping, check out this innovative service that:

- Compares prices between different supermarkets (eg ASDA, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Ocado) for a trolley full of products that YOU specify (as opposed to price comparisons that may not reflect what you actually buy);
- Where possible, suggests similar but cheaper products for you to buy instead of pricier items in your trolley;
- When you order for home delivery, gives you loyalty points in addition to any offered by the supermarket;
- Can even help you to manage a calorie-controlled diet!

Over the course of a year, these benefits could add up to huge savings on your grocery shopping bills. To learn more, click the banner below:
