Quick Start Guide
Faircart tracks grocery prices across 10 Canadian banners so you can stop guessing and start saving. Here's everything you can do.
Stores We Track
Walmart and Costco prices are community-contributed via the Contribute page.
Compare Stores Instantly
Paste your shopping list and we'll compare prices across the Canadian grocers we cover. See which store is cheapest for your exact cart.
- Go to the Compare page
- Type or paste your grocery items (one per line)
- Hit "Compare" — we scan all stores simultaneously
- See the winner and per-item breakdown
Track Price History
Search any product to see its price history across stores. Know if today's price is actually a deal or if it was cheaper last month.
- Search for a product (e.g., "eggs", "butter")
- Click any result to see its detail page
- View the price history chart
- Check the deal score — we verify if sales are real
Browse Verified Deals
We compare every price against its trailing 30-day MEDIAN. A deal has to be a real drop — at least 10% below that median, backed by at least 5 recent observations. A "sale" sticker with no real drop simply never appears as a deal.
- Visit the Deals page
- Green badges = verified real savings
- No badge = no real drop vs the 30-day median (fake "sales" are silently disqualified)
- Click any deal for full price history
See Store Rankings
We rank all 10 stores by a standard 10-item staple basket. See which store is objectively cheapest in your area.
- Visit the Store Rankings page
- Rankings are based on real, current basket costs
- See the price spread between cheapest and most expensive
- Refreshed every few hours as new prices come in
Build Smart Shopping Lists
Create shopping lists that tell you where to buy each item for the lowest price. Save lists to your account to sync across devices.
- Add items to your list on the Smart List page
- See recommended stores for each item
- Sign in to save and sync your lists
- Lists work without an account too (saved locally)
Detect Shrinkflation
We track package sizes over time. When a product gets smaller but the price stays the same, we flag it so you're not paying more for less.
- Search any product in the Tracker
- Look for the shrinkflation indicator on product pages
- We track size changes alongside price changes
- Severity rating tells you how significant the shrink is
Do I Need an Account?
Nope. You can search, compare, and browse deals without signing in. An account lets you:
- Save shopping lists and sync across devices
