Big pack cheaper, really?
Bulk packs claim savings falsely often. Shoppers trust blindly.
1. The problem
Grocery shoppers trust big-pack savings that lie frequently. Shrinkflation hides per-unit hikes. Labels confuse metric imperially. Mental math fails aisleside. The hardest part is instant per-unit truth. A pack might boast falsely. That uncertainty makes it hard to buy cheapest.
“Big packs lie about savings often. I need scan math with sales history.”
2. What exists
Shelf tags, Basket and mental math compare units, while big packs deceive. Tags show inconsistently. An app might lag badly. There is little help with scan-based live math plus history for shoppers.
3. The solution
The solution could be a truth-at-shelf engine. It could scan barcodes into per-unit math. It could compare across brands instantly. History could flag fake sales. The goal would be cheapest carts, not biggest packs.
