You can choose to shop (and toggle between at any time!) at Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's or Ocado (Waitrose on-line shopping site). the products are displayed clearly, with pictures and shopping is really easy and faster than on the supermarkets' sites. The great majority of the products have information on calories, salt, sugar and fat a click away above their picture. Not only: the trafic lights label scheme used lets you see at a glance how healthy the product is! If you see most green and amber lights you know you're on the right track. If you see mainly red and amber lights then you think about ittwice before adding it to the trolly.
And it doesn't end there!!! Once you've finished your shopping you will be presented with a health checker and a Prioce checker tool! This will tell let you know how many calories you could be cutting off your shopping and how much money you could be saving by swapping some of the products for a same healthier or cheaper product. If you want to, you just click on the item you wish to swap your 'bad' one for. Once happy with supermarket of your choice and products, they will transfer your trolley on the supermarket's website and you check out in the same way as normal. It is FREE to use.
Simply great! Give it a try, if you are a regular online shopper you just can't go wrong!
