The thinking

The thinking behind
PriceBuddy.

The brief

Grocery prices in Guyana can vary widely from one supermarket, shop or market to the next, but there was no simple way to check before leaving home. Shoppers compared prices from memory, word of mouth, or by driving from store to store.

The direction

Know the price before you go. Every price had to be honest about where it came from and how fresh it is, so people could trust it enough to plan a shopping trip around it.

The approach

We designed and built PriceBuddy as a fast, mobile-first web app. Prices come in from shoppers, scanned receipts, stores and public reports, and each one is labelled with its source and how recently it was seen. Shoppers pick their area, search a product, and see the cheapest store first, with “Still right” confirmations to keep prices current, price tracking, and a shopping list.

Where it landed

A live price guide covering supermarkets, shops and markets across Guyana, from Georgetown and the East Coast to Berbice, Essequibo and the interior. It surfaces the biggest savings each week and gets more useful with every price shoppers add.
