Shopper’s Guide
Shopper's Guide was a British consumer magazine published by the Consumer Advisory Council of the British Standards Institution (BSI), which was established in 1955. It predated and overlapped with the launch of Which? magazine (1957). The British Standards Institution's Shopper's Guide was one of the business-influenced groups that had started consumer advice and testing before Which? was published.
