What is ValueSort?
ValueSort is a free tool that helps shoppers find better value when buying groceries. It takes supermarket product listings and reorders them by price per unit, so you can quickly see which options offer the best value for money. Rather than relying on shelf prices alone, the tool calculates the actual cost per kilogram, litre, or item to give you an apples-to-apples comparison. This is particularly useful when supermarkets stock multiple pack sizes or brands of the same product. ValueSort works with major UK supermarket retailers, making it simple to spot savings during your regular shopping trips without having to do mental maths at the till.
