INDEPENDENT GROCERY WATCHDOG · CANADA

Stop getting played
at the checkout.

Canada's big chains shrink your groceries and quietly jack the price. Faircart keeps the receipts — exposes the shrinkflation, calls out the markup, and shows you which store's actually cheapest for your list.

GROCERY SAVINGS GUIDES

Know before you shop

Sourced, dated, independent. The tool finds your cheapest cart — these explain the rules the chains bury.

Price-match rulebook

Does your grocery store actually price match?

Canada's banners, store by store — who matches, who never did, what counts as a competitor, and the fine print. Every verdict checked against the retailer's own policy and dated.

Store directories

Every grocery store in your city, and who owns it

825 store locations across 40 cities, harvested from each retailer's own locator — with the parent company and price-match policy for every banner. We list what we can confirm and say what we can't.

MISSION MANIFESTO

Loblaws posted record profits while food bank usage tripled. We built a tool that does the math for you.

Faircart is independent. The grocery chains don't pay us a dime — no "featured store" payola, no sponsored results, nobody paying their way to the top of your list. We read the price tags so you don't have to, and we show our work.
