3. Record a shelf price

Enter package size, number of packs, the price you paid, and the date. We convert mixed sizes automatically.

A 6-pack costs the entered total price for all six packs.

Choose a product and enter its size to preview its comparable unit price.

📊

4. Where is your basket cheaper?

Compare the actual price of enough whole packs to cover your shopping list.

Fair comparison rule: We use each store’s latest recorded price for each product. A store with missing items is shown as incomplete, never falsely declared the cheapest.
Add stores, products, and prices to compare a basket.

Checkout estimates include whole-pack rounding but exclude taxes, coupons, memberships, delivery charges, and travel between stores. Quantity beyond your needs is not automatically wasted, but it still costs money today.

5. Price detective

See the best current unit price and how observed prices have moved over time.

Choose a product to see prices.

Price history is based only on the prices you enter. The most recent observation replaces older prices in the current comparisons.

💡

Small shopping habits, smarter decisions

A few reminders before you chase the lowest number.

🧮 Compare like with like. Mixed ounces, pounds, grams, and milliliters are converted to a common unit for each product. Don’t compare different products solely by weight.

📦 Bigger isn’t automatically better. Whole-package prices matter when the budget is tight, and an unused bargain can turn into waste.

🗓️ Log sale dates. A recent price can beat an older deal. Keep adding entries to make your personal price book more valuable.

🚗 Include the trip. Saving $1 across town may not justify an extra drive. Our store totals do not include transportation.
