What makes Internet shopping such good value? Well I'll tell you - it's the fact that a machine can filter and sort things a lot faster than you or me. That's why you can compare 20 different shop's prices for a CD in an instant. It's why you can search a massive marketplace like eBay and go straight to the very cheapest of hundreds of similar products.
So why isn't this feature available in our online supermarkets? Simple - they want us to do what we always do - shop by brand. When we can choose our hand-soap or beer for their good value, suddenly those millions of pounds spent on brand identity don't quite matter any more. Given the Credit Crunch we've all heard so much about, there's never been a better time to start saving money...
Naturally, it's hard to approach a real-life supermarket wall-of-products and work out - in your head - which out of 50 shampoos is best value. That's why we pick up the 2 for 1s, the one in the advert, or the own brand. We don't have time to work it out. Tesco Money Saver is a tool that does it for you. It allows you to rearrange shelves by price, just by ticking a box. So simple, it's revolutionary!
How it works:

Notice that Tesco Money Saver simply adds a new check box in keeping with the style of the page, but with powerful repercussions. Your sort-by-price selection is persistent between pages too, so you don't need to tick it every time.
Please note only 'shelf mode' on the Tesco website can be sorted by Tesco Money Saver - product searches are so diverse that you could literally by comparing apples and oranges - or cola and cake - so price comparisons quickly become useless!
