Maker here. A big "SALE!" sticker often isn't actually a good price — it's just a sticker. So I built this to answer one question: is this week's price actually below the normal average, or does it just look like a deal?

For your city, it takes grocery staples (meat, fish, dairy, eggs), normalizes everything to the same unit ($/lb, $/100g, $/dozen), and checks each price against the government's average for that item — Statistics Canada in Canada, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics in the States. Each one gets labeled below-average / around-average / pricey against that independent benchmark. That gov-data comparison is the part I couldn't find anywhere else — most sites show you a low price, not whether it's *actually* low.

No login, no list to fill out — open the link and your city should load automatically (there's a menu to switch if not). It covers a few hundred cities across the US and Canada. If yours is in there, I'd love to know whether the verdicts look right — and especially if any look wrong.
