BundleScout

BundleScout is a mobile + web deal aggregator that compares the total cost of a full shopping list across multiple retailers, not just single-item prices. Users paste a list (or import from notes/recipes), set preferred stores, and the app builds the lowest-cost cart by factoring item substitutions, pack sizes, coupons, loyalty pricing, delivery/pickup fees, and minimum order thresholds. It highlights “false deals” (cheap item, expensive basket) and shows a clear per-basket breakdown so users can decide whether splitting orders is worth the hassle. It also supports price-history snapshots for common staples to detect inflated “sale” pricing. This is a combination traditional + AI app: AI helps match messy product names to real SKUs and suggests reasonable substitutes, but the core value is deterministic cart math and transparent comparisons. Monetization: affiliate links where available, plus a small premium tier for advanced alerts and multi-household lists.
