Finding and comparing prices and stock of groceries online? – How to find the supermarket websites?

1. Pretty sure those stores don’t list their prices online at all

2. Those stores don’t have any, you have Oda and meny mostly online. There are apps like Mattilbud and similar.

   So you more or less need to learn. Then there won’t be a problem to buy pasta for the same price as the up ones you show. Even Meny has for similar price if you don’t go for brand one.

3. sounds like a good idea would also like to know about this

4. Not all shops have the same prices. There’s even a price difference (I think) between different Kiwis (And same with Rema, Coop etc). Things can be cheaper in the city than in a small village f.ex.

5. Oda is close in price to reme, kivi, extra

6. There’s kassal.app, the developer was active here on Reddit. It’s a very good idea, but very limited in use since Kiwi and Rema don’t show their prices online :/

7. Spar.no and Oda.no are available online, with prices for everything they sell.

   Example: https://spar.no/sok?query=fusilli&expanded=products

   Also «wide selection» type discount stores like Europris.no and https://www.rusta.com/nb-no publish their prices and if they’re in stock in stores.

   Kiwi, Rema 1000, Bunnpris and the Coop stores don’t publish the prices of everything they offer, just the weekly circulars with what’s on offer this week.

   There are some price comparison services, such as https://kassal.app . There’s also a price comparison service at https://enhver.no . And the new app Kupp, collects weekly offers from various grocery chains, https://kupp.vg.no

   Still, it may be easier to consider this:

   Price comparisons done by VG https://www.vg.no/nyheter/i/5EPK2z/rekordstor-handlekurv-kiwi-billigst-i-vgs-matboers and others for the last years, show that Kiwi, Rema 1000 and Coop Extra have about the same prices for the same or comparable goods.

   Also: join their customer programmes for more discounts etc.

   And: shop at discount stores. Europris, Rusta and Normal are _usually_ cheaper than any grocery store chain for cleaning products, household paper, hygiene products (soap and toothpaste) and cosmetics, as well as coffee, tea, chocolate and vitamin supplements.
   Biltema and Jula has _some_ non-food products that also can be found in supermarkets, but at lower prices, such as hand soap and household paper.
   And the limited selection discount store Holdbart (specialising in goods near expiration date and out of season products) is generally cheaper for everything they sell.

   Finally, fresh fruit and vegetables is usually cheaper in specialised import food + fruit/veg corner stores. They usually also offer big packets of PG Tips tea, a brand generally not available in Norwegian supermarkets.

8. This website compare prices between all the stores. And you can see price history and more.
   I find this website to be helpful if you want to compare prices and compare weekly sales.

9. Meny has First Price and a “tilbud” site you can buy from. I usually don’t use a lot of money on meny when its on the app.

10. I did a price comparison about a decade ago which involved me writing down prices for about 20 items in each supermarket and entering them all into a spreadsheet.

    The cheapest was the COOP Xtra located on the edge of town. Most expensive was the COOP Mega located in the shopping mall in the town centre (which may just reflect higher higher costs downtown). Rema and Kiwi were in the middle.

    It was a lot of hassle though trying to find comparable products as the shops stock different brands and have temporary special offers which bias the data.

    There were big price differences in some fruit and vegetables, and they weren’t consistent. So one place might have really expensive cherry tomatoes but the cheapest oranges.
