A web site that monitors Irish grocery prices is for sale. Shoppingbill.com, based at Kinsale, County Cork, offers consumers a weekly price comparison service, and boasts around 300,000 hits per month.
It recently made national headlines by claiming to prove that, contrary to expectations, Irish food prices had risen since the abolition of the groceries order, which banned below cost selling.
Alan Clinton, who set up the site with his wife Gwenn and Kinsale businesswoman Una McIntosh, said they wanted a buyer &"to take the business to the next level&".
The ideal purchaser, he said, would be a major media company. Clinton said: &"Our price service has been widely used by the media to highlight the rip-off Republic phenomenon.&"
Clinton and his wife, who both worked with Asda UK for several years, said they would stay on after a sale to continue development.
