Consumers are advised to compare full basket prices across multiple online stores before purchasing, considering delivery fees, promotions, loyalty programs, and minimum order requirements. Checking if displayed prices are promotional and understanding the terms is also important, as a single cheap product may not guarantee the lowest overall basket cost. This approach helps shoppers identify the most cost-effective supermarket for their entire grocery list.
