I have 5 different grocery stores in my area. There are a couple I never go to because of distance, but I definitely would if I knew they had some cheaper options.

I have been tracking prices just using the notepad app on my phone, but it's tedious and sometimes difficult to navigate. Is there an app that makes price comparisons easier? I know some stores have their own standalone apps, but I don't want to download 5 different apps and constantly switch between them just to compare prices. I was hoping there is one app where I can track all prices for all stores in my area.

Thanks!

I used to manually keep track of where I can find the best price per unit for an item on an Excel sheet, but I wanted to know if there's an app/program that automatically tracks which grocery store has the best price for an item if I scan my receipt? Or something along those lines. It's been tedious for me to compare prices and update my own guide, so I haven't been keeping up with it. I've been considering switching from primarily shopping from Sprouts to Trader Joe's, but I believe the decision would be easier to make if I had a sort of price comparison app.

Much love to this subreddit! The tips I've read under other posts have been tremendously helpful, and I'm thankful anyone that write tips for this post too.

Are there any free apps that will let me make a grocery list and then tell me the price of the item at local/nearby stores?

I've tried a few like Flipp and Grocery King and they aren't what I'm looking for.

Anyone got any recommendations? Pros and Cons?

Is there anywhere I can look to compare prices for groceries? Or am I stuck driving and circling around to all the stores near me to find the best prices?

Frankly, I don’t even know how grocery store pricing works.

Do prices fluctuate week to week? Month or month? Day to day?

I live near major grocery stores and the price of even simple items like berries vary 4X in a single week! Any good website/apps that can track major grocery stores and show me prices in almost real time.
It would be even better if I can add trackers which notify me when a certain item hits a certain price.
I have tried a few apps from Google Play, some provides offers, some provides coupons but none track prices.

I have been searching grocery and personal care prices item by item to compare Kroger to Meijer (this are my only real options). Has anyone found a quicker way they would be willing to share? I could go to Aldi as well. I have looked at some apps to download but most seem pretty sketchy about info gathering or what they actually do. Having to keep typing to meet the 300 character limit so please pardon the run on sentence.

I live outside the US, so most grocery price comparing apps don't show my local stores. What I really want is an app that will let me manually input various prices from various stores to compare them... but I can't seem to find an app like this! Does anyone have recommendations for one?

East coast to be more specific

10 years ago when I was couponing there were all these great websites that would let me search the deals for every store around my area, but they don’t seem to be working any more. I just want to be able to type in something like “diced tomatoes” and find out if they are on sale anywhere.

Hi everyone,

Recently I launched an app called My Cart! to help users compare grocery prices from different stores (currently Walmart, Aldi, Kroger, and HEB). The app also offers a bunch of recipes with their total costs compared among the same stores and lets you refine which ingredients you need.

While the app is out on both app stores, it is still a work in progress and I would love to know if this is something that people would be interested in using or if it would be beneficial. The grocery aspect is still being refined and it may not be an exhaustive list of anything you would need but I am working to update the list of items and stores available!

I'm wondering if anyone knows of good apps for basically keeping a database of grocery prices by unit to be able to easily see if an item or sale is a good deal or not.

Right now I use Price Cruncher and it is fairly close to perfect, but there are a couple things it's missing - barcode scanning would be nice, as well as the ability to make an account or something so that the database is accessible and current across devices. The history function is also not super user friendly and I wish you could choose which entry of an item to use as the default to crunch new entries against (for example, maybe an item went on a once in a lifetime sale and you don't want to always see that a good deal is 75% more expensive than the lowest price you've paid).

This is something I'd be willing to pay a few bucks for because I use it constantly and it's saved me so much money!! I'm surprised that there don't seem to be more options. Is this not something other people find interesting/useful?

I'm the creator of Lijssie, an app I've been building for the past few months to solve something simple: how do you figure out which supermarket is the cheapest for your groceries?

With Lijssie you can:

• Make your shopping list

• See at a glance where you find the best deals (Aldi, Dirk, Jumbo, AH, etc.)

• Also see combinations of stores that are cheapest together

• And if you live together: share your list with a housemate

The app just went live and now has 1200+ users — and the first reactions are super positive. I'd like to keep developing based on your feedback, so if you have suggestions or bugs: let me know!

You can install the app for free as a web app on your phone via: https://lijssie.nl

Hey everyone I m building an all in one app where users can compare prices across different categories from groceries to travel, hotel bookings, food delivery, shows, etc. Think of it as a single platform to get the best deals across everything you spend on.

I d love to get your insights does this sound useful? Are there successful apps doing this already? Any thoughts or red flags? Appreciate all feedback!
