    Shameless plug for my own project ( https://grocerytracker.ca/ ) since you're in Canada. Eventually I'd love for it to do what you're suggesting, but for now the closest thing you …

    I’ve got a site with the price history aspect for Canadian groceries ( http://grocerytracker.ca/ ), but the community groups/public lists idea is interesting. I definitely feel lik…

    Absolutely! It’s made it difficult to implement some of the cross-retailer comparison features I would like to add. For my charts I’ve just manually selected some products, but I’v…

    If I had unlimited time I would love to. Unfortunately I can’t see it expanding beyond Canada anytime soon though.
