Tulsa Flyer: Technology Is Making It Easier to Save on Groceries

Saving money on groceries used to mean spending time clipping coupons and comparing prices between stores. Today, technology can do much of that work for you.

In a recent Tulsa Flyer article, cost-of-living reporter Libby Hobbs looked at different ways Tulsa shoppers are using technology to save money on food — including CartHappy.

Grocery prices can change constantly

According to data tracked by CartHappy and featured in the article, prices across Tulsa’s Walmart, Target and Costco locations changed more than 100,000 times in just two weeks.

One example shows just how much prices can move: a Costco vegetable tray with ranch increased by 33% in one day, before later dropping by 55%.

With prices changing this frequently, keeping track of the best deal manually can be difficult.

CartHappy does the comparison for you

CartHappy is a free Chrome extension that compares grocery prices while you shop online.

After downloading the extension, you enter your ZIP code so CartHappy can identify the stores available in your area.

Then, when you shop online, CartHappy compares the products in your cart across participating retailers and looks for better prices and available coupons.

Instead of checking multiple stores yourself, CartHappy does the repetitive comparison for you.

Build your cheapest cart

CartHappy can also help you build a cheaper grocery cart by identifying where individual products cost less.

If splitting your shopping between stores could save you money, CartHappy can show you the opportunity and help create a new cart with the cheaper items.

As John Laramie, CartHappy’s founder, explains in the Tulsa Flyer article, the goal is to make grocery shopping simpler by taking the repetitive work out of comparing prices and rebuilding shopping lists.
