CanPrice

CanPrice is a mobile app that ends the guesswork and sneaky pricing in the soda aisle. Scan a shelf tag or barcode and it calculates the true unit price (per oz/ml), adjusts for bottle deposits, and normalizes multipack deals (e.g., 12-pack vs 6-pack vs 2L). It also flags shrinkflation by tracking package size changes over time and alerts you when a “sale” is worse than the regular price at nearby stores. Users can build a short list of favorite sodas and set price targets; when a store drops below your threshold, you get a notification. The app relies on a mix of user-submitted prices and receipt/photo verification to keep data fresh. This is not a fun “soda discovery” app—it’s a practical shopping tool that saves money, especially for families and heavy soda buyers.
