Shopping comparison
Compare a single product or a full basket at two shops, using your own pack prices, quantities, offers and delivery charges. Revise any earlier step to update the downstream budget. Your figures stay in this page’s memory, not in storage or the address.
How to use this planner
- Choose Single product or Full basket. Enter the quantity and unit needed for each item.
- Enter your own pack prices and sizes at both shops. Select only the multibuy and discount rules that apply.
- For a basket, add or remove items and enter delivery once per shop. Optionally enable each shop's free-delivery threshold and choose its qualifying spend basis: goods after selected offers, all purchased packs at full price before offers, or your own qualifying amount for exclusions.
- Check free-delivery eligibility and the applied charge alongside basket totals and each item's surplus. Adding, removing or editing goods and offers clears a manual qualifying amount; enter it again for the changed basket. Single-product mode compares delivered unit costs and keeps flat delivery.

Privacy. Your figures stay in this page's memory only. Nothing is saved or sent, and reloading clears them.
Assumptions and limits
- These are your entered prices and delivery terms, not live shop prices or policies. Assume comparable products and availability.
- Weight, volume and items cannot be compared with each other; basket surplus is shown separately for each item.
- Packs are rounded up; buying complete offer bundles is an option you choose. Partial offer bundles leave remaining packs at full price.
- Discounts apply to goods, not delivery. Confirm selected multibuys and discounts can be combined.
- Free delivery is off by default. When enabled, qualifying goods spend at or above the cent-rounded threshold waives the whole entered charge once; delivery does not count towards qualifying spend. Before-offer spend includes extra packs bought for complete bundles. Check exclusions and non-waivable fees yourself; separate non-waivable fees are not modelled.
- Loyalty rewards, deposits and other minimum-order conditions are not modelled. No automatic offers or shop policies are applied.
Every step shares one set of inputs. Change an earlier step and every figure below recalculates. Nothing is saved, and refreshing the page clears it.
Your result
- Offer A total
- €6.00
- Offer B total
- €5.50
- Difference in total cost
- €0.50
Calculation method
Convert compatible pack and required units to items, kilograms or litres. Round up to whole packs. Apply complete buy-N/pay-M offers plus full-price remainder packs; optionally round up to full offer bundles. Apply the entered goods discount, then add delivery once. Compare total spending and delivered unit cost separately.

Assumptions and sources
- Replace the illustrative figures with your own quotes and prices, including any taxes and charges you will actually pay. Figures stay in this page's memory and clear on reload. This is a planning estimate, not a quote or a recommendation. Assume comparable products and availability. Discounts apply to goods, not delivery. Confirm that any selected offers can be combined. Extra offer packs may cost more overall even if their unit price is lower. Excludes loyalty rewards, deposits, subscriptions and minimum-spend conditions unless included in your entered charges.
Enter your own prices for each item; Count.ie does not use live shop prices. Multibuy and discount apply only where you tick them. Delivery and order charges are added once per shop, not per item. Nothing is saved automatically or sent to Count.ie, and refreshing clears the basket. Copy, CSV and print exports are voluntary.
Confirm selected multibuys and discounts can be combined. Remaining packs outside a complete multibuy bundle are charged at full price; choosing complete bundles may add surplus.

How the workflow connects your figures
Convert compatible pack and required units to items, kilograms or litres. Round up to whole packs. Apply complete buy-N/pay-M offers plus full-price remainder packs; optionally round up to full offer bundles. Apply the entered goods discount, then add delivery once. Compare total spending and delivered unit cost separately.
Replace the illustrative figures with your own quotes and prices, including any taxes and charges you will actually pay. Figures stay in this page's memory and clear on reload. This is a planning estimate, not a quote or a recommendation. Assume comparable products and availability. Discounts apply to goods, not delivery. Confirm that any selected offers can be combined. Extra offer packs may cost more overall even if their unit price is lower. Excludes loyalty rewards, deposits, subscriptions and minimum-spend conditions unless included in your entered charges.
Full basket. The same whole-pack calculation runs separately for each item at each shop. Each item's discounted goods cost is rounded to cents, then the item costs are added. Flat delivery is the default, rounded and added once per shop, never per product. An explicitly enabled free-delivery threshold compares qualifying spend with the threshold, both rounded to cents: at or above qualifies and applies a zero charge. You choose goods after selected offers, all purchased packs at full price before offers (including extra packs for complete bundles), or a manually entered qualifying amount for exclusions. Full-price pack costs also round per item before summing. Delivery never counts towards qualifying spend. Adding, removing or editing goods and offers clears a manual qualifying amount; enter it again for the changed basket. The whole entered charge is waived when eligible; separate non-waivable fees are not modelled. These are your assumptions, not live shop policies. Basket savings compare the complete goods-plus-applied-delivery totals. Surplus stays separate for each item; there is no combined basket quantity or unit price. An empty basket, invalid item or invalid enabled delivery threshold has no comparison result. Single-product mode keeps flat delivery; the worked example below is its example.
- What you need: Quantity you need, Unit for the quantity you need.
- Offer A: Offer A: price per pack (€), Offer A: quantity in each pack, Offer A: pack unit, Offer A: buy several, pay for fewer, Offer A: packs in the offer, Offer A: packs charged in the offer, Offer A: buy complete offer bundles, Offer A: apply a percentage discount, Offer A: discount on goods (%), Offer A: delivery and order charges (€).
- Offer B: Offer B: price per pack (€), Offer B: quantity in each pack, Offer B: pack unit, Offer B: buy several, pay for fewer, Offer B: packs in the offer, Offer B: packs charged in the offer, Offer B: buy complete offer bundles, Offer B: apply a percentage discount, Offer B: discount on goods (%), Offer B: delivery and order charges (€).
