Lowtein
Grocery "sales," checked against the government's average
Lowtein checks this week's grocery and meat prices in your city against the government's published average price — so you can tell what's genuinely below the typical price, not just what's wearing a "sale" sticker. 172 cities across the US & Canada. Free, no login.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Rob, I built Lowtein.
A "sale" sticker doesn't tell you if the price is actually good — but the answer is public. Governments publish average retail prices (StatCan in Canada, the BLS in the US). Lowtein compares this week's local prices against that baseline, so you can see what's genuinely below the typical price, and by how much, across your nearby stores.
Free, no login, no app.
Every deal shows all the local stores' prices + how it's calculated — fully transparent.
172 cities across the US and Canada.
Open your city and see this week's real deals. Don't see your city? Drop it below — it helps me decide what to add next.
