The short version

We collect grocery prices from 39 Sacramento-area stores and put them all in one place. Search for anything — eggs, tortillas, craft beer, a whole Thanksgiving turkey — and see who has the best price right now. Free forever. No ads, no login, no app to install.

We started because Sacramento has incredible grocery diversity — from WinCo and FoodMaxx to Nugget Markets and the Co-op, from 99 Ranch to Oto's — but comparing prices across all of them was a full-time job. Now it takes about 10 seconds.

How fresh is the data?

Every price shows its age so you know what to trust. We color-code them:

Fresh
Under 30 days
Aging
30–59 days
Stale
60–89 days
Outdated
90+ days

Prices older than 6 months are automatically purged. Sale prices show their expiration date so you know if the deal is still running. Prices are a guide, not a guarantee — always verify at the shelf.

This runs on neighbors helping neighbors

Spot a price we're missing? See something wrong? The fastest way to help is to snap a photo of a price tag and send it our way. Every submission makes the data better for everyone.
