Edge by Ascential has conducted a price comparison analysis matching a minimum of 3,950 branded products from AmazonFresh to Asda, Morrisons, Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose.
The price comparison encompasses the following categories:
- Baby
- Beer, Wines & Spirits
- Grocery (Ambient, Fresh and Frozen Foods and Drinks)
- Health & Beauty
- Home Care (Household Cleaning, Laundry and Pet Care)
The analysis only includes products where there is an exact match and does not include Own Label SKUs. This is a shelf price comparison and therefore does not include multi-buy promotions.
