Hello,
Is there a website to get real time food prices from different grocery stores (Prisma, Lidl, K-market...) in Finland?
Like if you want to know how much are tomatoes today or this week in Lidl vs. Prisma.
Something like www.polttoaine.net but for food.
Thanks,
Sean

Re: Real time food prices
But gas is rather easy to compare. Just tomatoes would be highly difficult as they come in so many different qualtities. Luomo, not luomo, all the different countries of origin, all the different cultivars.
And then you have that indvidual stores tend to have different prices, especially in different regions of Finland. You would need people who enter ALL the prices in all the stores EVERY SINGLE day. As the supermarket chains don't want this kind of comparison and rather rely on their own marketing, they will not forward this information. And collecting it with private people would lead to chaos, and most prices would not be up-to-date.
So my guess is no, that doesn't exist.

Lidl prices the same all over the country.
Also, do you factor in the loyalty points which is basically cash back if you are an S- or K- cardholder?
Shopping on a budget is more about what you eat and when. Buying things that are on special offer (30% off many perishable products in my Prisma on a Monday morning), eating oat porridge instead of cornflakes etc, buying in bulk. There isn't much point in comparing prices except maybe on things like a specific brand of your favourite coffee or washing powder. And those are usually advertised in junk mail that comes through the letter box.
