Reading the Sunday paper, hunting for the best price on each grocery item. Remember how much work people put in to find the best price for their food? Stop driving multiple places just to hopefully save the most money.
My Dad used to make me go into stores, find the item he wanted at the grocery store and if it wasn't there I would have to ask for a rain check. Does anyone remember rain checks or browsing the newspaper advertisements?
Like others, I shop for my own groceries and cook from home most days. I'm always wondering where the best "bang for my buck" is. So I will start pulling up one of the many grocery store apps or google search "chicken breast" to see where the best price is. Soon after giving up and just picking a place to go because I get annoyed.
BRAIN BLAST, why isn't there an easy to use product out there that I can just tell it what groceries I want and it tells me where to go?
That brings me here, ready to throw things to the wall, see what sticks, and not be afraid to fail. Easier said then done but I'm hoping people will find this product useful as I do. I want to get feedback and create something useful for others. Lets be honest, we all could stand to save more money and spend less on gas to get our shopping done.
CartGenie's MVP will let the user search what they want, add it to their cart, set their search radius, and it will tell them the single best price on all of the items in their cart. I can already envision more and more things that could be useful but that is my starting point! π
