ⓘIf we had drawn a different but equally fair set of the products both shops sell, the figure would fall inside this range 95 times out of 100. Products of the same brand are drawn together. The range runs from cheaper to dearer, so these two shops are too close to call.

Why two numbers? Across the 2,977 matched branded products used here, Sainsbury's is 1.2% cheaper than Morrisons. The main ranking combines comparisons with other supermarkets within each category and gives Sainsbury's a 2.7% lower price level than Morrisons, a difference that passes the ranking's statistical test.

How we compare prices

We compare the price per kilo, per litre or per item, so pack sizes do not distort the result. Items sold by the piece are only compared with a similar number of pieces. Prices as of 31 August 2026; where a cheaper promotion was running, we use that price.

How the figure is worked out

For each spending category we average the price differences of the products both shops sell, then combine the categories by their share of household spending. The ranking on the Price Monitor page compares all shops at once, through every other shop as well, so it can differ from this two-shop figure; for these two shops the ranking gives Sainsbury's 2.7% cheaper.
