As millions of cash conscious Christmas shoppers hit the high street in search of the best deals, moneysupermarket Shopping has unveiled the UK's first ever price comparison shop window on London's Oxford Street. 

• Window shopping that saves you money

The unique window consists of a 50" holographic touch screen which will allow shoppers to dive out of shops and check to see whether they can find products cheaper on the High Street and online.

Launching today to mark moneysupermarket.com's new shopping channel, this interactive shop window will be available for 12 days over the busiest shopping period, and will bring the prices of over 1m products to the fingertips of shoppers in seconds.

Using the latest technology the window will provide a heavenly experience and enable shoppers to find the most competitive prices on Christmas gifts - everything from DVDs, games, toys and clothes to household electrical items, beauty products and even gifts for the family pet!

By touching the moneysupermarket Shopping interactive window, shoppers will also be able to research product specifications and check out consumer product reviews - perfect for gift inspiration and recommendations.

moneysupermarket Shopping research commissioned prior to the windows launch reveals cash conscious Londoners will surprisingly be the UK's thriftiest Christmas shoppers. With a modest Christmas shopping spend averaging £363, Londoners fall behind shoppers from the Midlands (£376), North East (£406), Wales (£419) and even Scotland (£460).

The moneysupermarket Shopping price comparison window will be available on Oxford Street for a limited period between 27th November - 8th December.  To trial moneysupermarket Shopping from the comfort of your home visit www.moneysupermarket.com/shopping
