The grocery bill
Inflation slowed. Your grocery bill didn't come back down.
Prices are rising more slowly now, but the increases of the last six years stuck. The same groceries still cost different amounts at different stores each week, and that gap is money you can keep.

The product
Eight ways to spend less on groceries
Start with your ZIP and this week's deals at your stores. Every receipt you add makes it sharper.
One list, routed to the cheapest of your stores
Each item goes to the cheapest of your stores, priced from this week's deals and what you've actually paid. A second stop shows up only when it really saves. It learns the order you walk each store, brings staples back when they're due, and shares with anyone through a personal link — no account needed.

ALDI
Cook what's on sale this week
Save the dinners your family already likes, from a link, a cookbook photo, or a handwritten recipe card. See which ones have ingredients on sale this week, then put the meal on your list, where each ingredient goes to the cheapest of your stores.

See the money left on the table
After each receipt, your same items are priced at other nearby stores from anonymized community data — showing which ones were cheaper and by how much. Finish a list trip with its receipt and the whole trip gets measured: what you paid, against the cheapest way to buy the same list. Sometimes the answer is “not much.” We say so.

Catch deals on what you already buy
Weekly flyers from stores near you are matched to what you actually buy, and every match is AI-checked for organic, size, and unit traps. Your staples get flagged the week they go on sale, next to what they usually cost.
See when a staple's price quietly jumps
Every item gets a price history from your own receipts: min, max, average, and last paid, across stores. A typical-price benchmark from anonymized community receipts shows whether it's just you — and the dashboard flags the sharpest jumps, with where it's cheaper instead.
From real receipts
See where the grocery money actually went
You know the grocery total went up, but not why. Your receipts become a category breakdown and a store-by-store comparison of your spending.
Say your list. It knows your usuals.
Tap the mic and talk the way you'd jot a list. Each item is matched to what your household actually buys — your usual brand, at the store you usually get it — and when it isn't sure, it asks you back, out loud.
“Which bread — Ezekiel or Pepperidge Farm?”
Snap a receipt. That's the data entry.
Photograph receipts, upload PDFs, or auto-forward store emails to your private address. No manual entry — the receipt is the input, and it reads every line for you.

Why we're different
On your side of the cart.
Rewards and cash-back apps are paid by brands to push purchases. We're built the opposite way.
Rewards & cash-back apps
- Paid by brands to drive more purchases
- Point you at what's promoted
- A coupon firehose
Pantry Deals
- Built to shrink your total bill
- Point you at what's cheaper for what you already buy
- One verified deal per product, AI-checked for organic/size/unit traps
Receipt-first, privacy-first
Published price data excludes account identifiers and receipt links. Card numbers, loyalty codes, and personal details are blacked out of the stored copy (best-effort), and photo GPS is stripped.
It compounds over time
Every receipt sharpens your price history and comparisons. The longer you use it, the more it finds.
Pricing
Saving is free. Premium is for busy households.
Receipts, price history, deals, recipes, and the smart list cost nothing. Premium adds five voice lists a day and one shared household — and keeps us paid by you, not by brands.

Questions, answered.
What happens to my receipt data? Are you selling it?
We never sell your identity or receipt images. While your receipt exists, internal links let us correct its price observations. Those links are excluded from published or licensed data and removed when you delete your account. We do license de-identified price data (see how we make money), with no account identifiers, receipt grouping, or correction links.
How does Pantry Deals make money?
Never by selling you. Today, through Premium — an optional subscription for extra voice lists and household sharing; everything that finds you savings stays free. Longer term, also by licensing de-identified market price data — individual price observations and aggregate stats like the median price of a product in your area this month — to retailers, researchers, and market analysts. That data carries no name, email, account, receipt grouping, or internal correction links; we never sell your identity, your receipts, or anything personal. Both point at a smaller bill, not a bigger one: our incentive stays the same as yours — help you spend less. The details are in our privacy policy.
I'm starting from zero — can I back-fill my purchase history?
Yes — and it's the best first move. Costco and Whole Foods both keep your past receipts online, and our parsers read those PDFs exactly, line by line:
- Costco: sign in at costco.com, open Orders & Purchases, switch to the In-Warehouse tab for store trips, then View Receipt and print or save each one as a PDF. Costco keeps roughly the last two years. Full walkthrough.
- Whole Foods: purchases scanned with your Prime code live in your Amazon account. Fastest path: request your order history from Amazon (Request My Data) and import the whole CSV in one go under Settings → Back-fill your history. Or save individual receipts as PDFs from Returns & Orders. Full walkthrough.
Then drag the whole stack onto the Upload page in one go. Every receipt parses automatically, and your price history, staples, and store comparisons fill in retroactively — months of insight on day one.
Is this just another app I have to babysit?
No new chore. It reads receipts you already get — forward a store email or snap a photo and you're done. It replaces grocery mental math; it doesn't add a task. You keep shopping exactly where you already shop.
Will it actually read my receipt correctly?
Built for accuracy, honest when it's unsure. Digital order PDFs are read by exact-text parsers — no OCR guesswork; photos use AI vision with a self-check on the total. Anything ambiguous lands in a one-click “needs review” queue, and you can fix any line by hand. If a receipt still doesn't add up, Fix this receipt proposes corrections for you to review. We'd rather flag uncertainty than fake a number.
Which stores does it work with?
Weekly deals depend on your ZIP and include ALDI, Albertsons, Costco, H-E-B, Kroger, Lidl, Meijer, Publix, Safeway, Stop & Shop, Target, Whole Foods, and many regional chains. ShopRite and Trader Joe's publish no prices we can read, so there we use the prices on your receipts.
Receipts work from any grocery store: photos are read with AI vision, and PDF receipts from Whole Foods, Costco, and DeCicco & Sons are read by exact-text parsers built for each store's format. Want first-class support for your store? Request it from Settings and it goes straight to us.
How is this different from Ibotta, Fetch, or coupons?
Those services are funded by brands — Ibotta and Fetch get paid by CPG companies when you buy promoted products, so their model is built around purchases. We're different by design: no brand pays us to push anything. We show you where your whole basket is cheaper and surface one verified deal per product instead of a coupon firehose. Their incentive points toward buying more; ours points toward a smaller bill. We win when you spend less.
Do I have to change where I shop?
No. The whole point is the cheapest basket within the stores you already use. We only suggest splitting a trip across two stores when it genuinely saves money.
Can it help me plan cheaper meals?
Yes, and recipes are free. Save the dinners your family already likes from a link, a photo of a cookbook page or recipe card, or pasted text. Recipes shows which ones have ingredients on sale this week, with the price and the store. Put a meal on your list and each ingredient goes to the cheapest of your stores.
Where is Pantry Deals available?
Anywhere in the US. Enter your ZIP and we'll find your nearby stores and their weekly deals. We started in Westchester County, NY, where our community price data runs deepest, and it grows wherever people upload.
