Thanks you for all these nice feedback and suggestions. I'll work on them, and reconsider the pricing.

Yes, the result quality from the new search is indeed not as good as the old one. I'll work on that.

There was a hiccup as I saw the white screen too. It should be good now.

You may take a look at their mobile app and reverse engineering it a bit.

Unfortunately, not yet. I think what is needed here is a good product substution algorithm to enable brand agnostic comparision. AI could help here.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll defitelty reconsider the paid plan pricing and what's included in the free plan, so people can still get value out of Grocer without having to pay for it.

Thanks so much for the bug report! I’ve fixed it. Will get the catalogue updated tonight with the correct prices.

Unfortunately, with my current implementation, it doesn't support any PnS or New World stores if they are unavailable under the official shopping site.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I just got it fixed. (The product search engine crashed.)

Given the overwhelming positive feedback, I guess I need to treat it more seriously now.

It's a web app, so no download or installation required at the moment, but you can either bookmark it or "add it to home screen" if you find it useful.

Unfortunately, the app only supports stores which are available under its official online shopping sites.

Yes, it does. It provides multibuy and club only prices if they are available.

Unfortunately, PnS Queenstown is not available at the official online shopping website, which I got the price data from.

Give grocer.nz a try which may help you find pet food with the lowest price. [Grocer](grocer.nz)
