FAQ
Yes. Pick a week of dinners and every ingredient is scaled to your household and pooled into one shopping list — 600g of flour on Tuesday and 400g on Thursday is one bag. Each line is matched to a real product at each supermarket that stocks it, so you can see what the week costs before you go.
Every line is priced at each supermarket in your region and ranked by unit price, not pack size — a larger pack at a better rate wins, and the surplus it leaves is shown separately rather than counted as overspend. You get one recommended shop for the week whenever a store covers enough of the list to name one; when none does, we say so rather than guess. Totals are an estimate built from the shelf prices we hold, not a register total.
It prices your actual basket across the major grocery retailers in your region and totals each one, so the result reflects everything you buy — not a few well-known items.
What CartSorted does
Honest comparison on this site — and on the retailers’ own pages while you shop, with the browser extension.
Not necessarily. Prices move, so CartSorted re-compares to keep the answer current.
By unit price (per 100g, per litre or per item), which normalises pack sizes for a fair comparison.
No. Browsing prices, comparing stores and the worked example week are all open to anyone. An account is what saves your meal plans and shopping lists so they are there next time.
Each product carries its full price history — the lowest and highest we've ever seen it, and when.
