Inspiration

Rising grocery prices make essentials harder to afford. Comparing prices across stores is stressful and time-consuming. The cheapest options are not always nearby.

What it does

Compares grocery prices across nearby stores. Finds the best deals for your shopping list. Considers your location and dietary preferences. Tracks spending and savings over time.

How we built it

Built a mobile-friendly application using Lovable. Integrated grocery pricing and store-location data. Implemented distance calculations and savings tracking.

Challenges we ran into

Finding reliable grocery pricing data. Comparing products across different stores. Demo issues. Building multiple features within a tight deadline.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a functional, accessible prototype. Combined price comparison, location awareness, and savings tracking. Created a survey to assess grocery inflation’s financial and emotional impact.

What we learned

How to integrate pricing and location data. How to prioritize features under tight deadlines. How financial stress influences shopping decisions and mental well-being.
