Remember: It pays to shop around

Have you visited our price comparison website lately? At the Jersey Consumer Council, we know it pays to shop around, so we run Prices.je to empower consumers in Jersey to compare prices before deciding where to spend their money.

The site includes weekly fuel and oil prices, fortnightly grocery prices from all the Island’s major supermarkets, mobile phone tariff comparisons, as well as themed seasonal price comparisons, such as at Christmas and Easter products.

Prices.je can help you make informed decisions on where to shop, with grocery categories featured ranging from bakery and dairy products, to tinned, dry and frozen goods, as well as gluten free and baby products.

Featuring the prices of almost 100 grocery products at six local supermarket chains, as well as the unleaded and diesel fuel prices for all 25 Jersey garages, Prices.je is your one-stop-shop for prices in Jersey.

As ever, our advice is to shop around for the best prices and to vote with your feet if you feel prices at one provider or store are too high.
