How to compare prices on the site — a two-minute guide
From search to a decision about where to shop, with no sign-up and no app
The site is built around one question: what does this product cost, and where is it worth buying. It is all free, there is no sign-up, and all you need is to know where to look.
Step 1 — search by name or by barcode
The search box takes a product name ("Tnuva cottage") or a barcode. A name is easier to type, but a barcode is more precise: it identifies exactly one product — same manufacturer, same pack size — so the comparison you get is of the same product across every chain.
If the product is in your hand, just type the digits under the stripes. If you are planning from home, the name brings up a list of matches to choose from.
Step 2 — set a location, or the answer stays too general
A price without a location is only half an answer. The cheapest price in the country is irrelevant if the branch is an hour away. Pick a city or allow location sharing, and results are organised around you — with the distance shown next to every price.
Changing the location at any time changes the picture, and that is deliberate: the same product in Tel Aviv and in Beer Sheva is two different buying decisions.
Step 3 — read the product page properly
At the top of the page you get the price range — the cheapest and dearest offers found — and the number of offers. That number tells you whether there is anything to save here at all: a 40-agorot range does not justify any effort, a ₪6 range does.
The price table lists branches with the price, the distance and the price per unit of measure. That last column matters most when pack sizes differ: 100g against 180g is not the same thing, and unit price is the only way to compare them fairly.
Offers are grouped so you do not scroll past the same price twenty times. There is also a split between what is near you and cheaper offers further away — so you can see what the drive actually costs.
Step 4 — check deals and history before you buy
The product page also shows the promotions currently running on it, and the deals page gathers what is cheap this week across every chain in one place. Remember that a promotion is not automatically a good price — it is only a discount from a price the chain set itself.
The price history chart shows whether today's price is high or low relative to itself. The chart builds day by day from when we started recording, so it gets more useful as time passes.
Step 5 — make it a habit, not a project
Nobody is going to compare 40 products before every shop, and nobody needs to. Check the five most expensive items in your trolley and the ones you buy every week — that is where nearly all the saving lives.
If you would rather not open a browser at all: the Telegram bot answers the same question inside a chat, and the deals channel pushes the discounts to you.
