OUR MISSION

Making Grocery Prices Transparent.

Saletacular is a crowdsourced platform built to help communities fight inflation, track corporate shrinkflation, and find the absolute best local deals on everyday staples.

The Problem with Modern Grocery Shopping

Prices change daily, package sizes silently shrink, and the cost of a basic gallon of milk can vary wildly between stores just a few miles apart.

Without a central place to compare costs, consumers are left guessing whether a "sale" is actually a good deal or just clever marketing. Grocery stores have teams of analysts pricing their items to maximize profit. We believe shoppers deserve their own tools to fight back.

The Saletacular Solution

Saletacular relies on the power of the community. Every time you log a price while shopping, you help build a real-time, local map of grocery costs.

  • Standardized Base Units (SBU) We calculate the exact price per ounce or count, making it impossible for brands to hide price hikes behind smaller packaging.
  • Historical Ledgers We permanently log every price change. You can look at a product's timeline to see exactly when and how much the price jumped.
  • Hyper-Local Map Prices aren't national. Our interactive map shows you the cheapest options within driving distance of your current location.

How the Community Works

Together, we can map the market.

1. Find Staples

Search for common grocery items like milk, bread, or eggs to see what they cost at stores around you.

2. Log Prices

While you're at the store, take 10 seconds to update the shelf price of an item in the app.

3. Earn Reputation

Gain points for every price you log, climb the global leaderboard, and unlock community moderation tools.

Built for Speed and Accuracy

Saletacular is powered by a custom-built spatial database utilizing Leaflet.js and OpenStreetMap for lightning-fast, map-based queries. Our dual-table architecture ensures that you always see the latest current price instantly, while securely logging a permanent, tamper-proof history of inflation over time.
