[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tried this for a little while, but it was work to keep it up and I wasn't taking it to the next step of comparing and making decisions off the comparables.

It would make for a great app...  Share your purchases (anonymous) and get tips/alerts on where to buy the things you like at good prices.

I think it's efficiency shopping rather than budget.

The one thing I remember as a benchmark from your list is ground beef, 88% at Costco of $4/lb.[/quote]

There is an app I use, called PricePad. (No I am not a shill for the app).

You can use your phone to scan the item, and it computes the cost per unit for you and records the store, date etc.

it's GREAT for the big chains like Giant, Safeway, Kroger, etc. and for the big food manufacturers, but it doesn't work for store brands or for Whole Foods, Lidl, Aldi, or anything from the bulk bins. ... the cheaper foods like the 365 brand or Aldis store brands, or for produce marked by the pound. So you have to input things manually in that case. That's what I'm trying to do now.[/quote]

That looks like it's for iPhones only, I'm an Android user.[/quote]
