The Bargain Hunter: New app can be an online grocery saver
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If you do grocery shopping online at Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Waitrose or Ocado, a new app could come in handy. The Companion app pops up when you're on a supermarket site to let you know if you could save money with a cheaper, like-for-like basket from a rival retailer. It also tells you about cashback offers, two-for-one deals and vouchers, and is available for PCs at shopping comparison site mySupermarket, with a version for phones promised next spring.

At Waitrose, there's 25 per cent off all wine and champagne if you buy six bottles by Tuesday 6 November. Tesco is offering wines at three for £12 until 20 November.
