For people shopping on a budget, put your groceries in check. With no idea of how much items would cost, it would be best to find a handy reference device to guide you when you start doing your groceries. ShopSavvy identified this need and has made use of MyWebGrocer’s grocery data to help shoppers in finding relevant products and pricing at local grocery stores.

“Grocery data has been a challenge for ShopSavvy from the very start. More than 25% of ShopSavvy users have scanned more than a million grocery items with limited success over the past year,” said Alexander Muse co-founder of Big in Japan.

Indeed, the data from groceries help a lot when it comes to being clueless on how much a certain product would cost. With today’s crisis affecting practically anybody, being able to prioritize goods that they actually need or substitute products so that they can fit everything in their grocery budget.

MyWebGrocer is currently live on ShopSavvy and relevant CPG Advertising is being deployed this quarter on the application.
