It's already a collaborative database using tons of user supplied data. How hard would it be to add another entry for (price, date, supermarket, location)? For example (€4.99, 25/3/19, Lidl, Berlin DE)
There's already an app with a scanner, you could just walk down the supermarket and scan a few things and when you do you see the price displayed for your location (if available), if it's significantly different you can change it.
- prewett 7y agoI don't think price would be very meaningful, since the price will be dependent on area. A major metropolitan area with a high cost of living will have higher prices, as will a small town that's 30 minutes from the nearest small city. And across countries, not only is there different tax rates, whether the tax is included in the price (US: no, Europe: yes, I believe), there is also the variation in exchange rate, which could be substantial. Then some stores may use the product as a loss leader, while others do not.
