• Helper app to help you track and note best grocery prices across different stores
• Create and analyze shopping list. Show optimal shopping runs
• Sync and share your shopping list with your loved one.

  • Filter or search for item to find it quicker.
• Add new items, update latest item pricings for differente stores
• Create shopping list
  • Tap existing items to buy
  • Set quantity (optional, but will produce better results)
• 1-store-run optimization:
  • Analyze shopping list item prices and get optimized list for cheapest store to go to for your whole list
  • Visualize loss when the store is non-optimal for a specific item
• 2-store-run optimization (advanced): Get an ever cheaper run by doing 2-store run optimization. Result is two lists with two sets of items for two stores that will yield best price
• Show best store for each item (and price differences)
• Analytics:
  • How much will you gain by going to 2 stores instead of 1
  • Strict optimization and lean optimization allows for some head room when selecting an optimal store. Example: allow unoptimal item/store set when the total price difference is below a threshold (e.g.: few cents)
  • Detailed list of best shop for every item on list. Remove or save some items for later, if it means you can do your run faster or visit less shops.
