Cart,
not car.

The store charges you for showing up.
We charge it back.

Same brands you'd buy anyway. Bulk-sized, $/oz tracked, gas and your time charged in. The receipt the store hopes you forget.

Sales on top of skipping

Things we buy, with extra discounts this week.

extra savings stacked
$5.07

Flash sales, coupons, auto-delivery discounts — only on items already on our household ledger. We don't pad this list.

Curated, not crawled. We won't ever overwhelm this section — these are things we'd buy this week.
How we audit

Three steps, one ledger, no marketing math.

01
Real receipts in
We import the household’s actual Amazon order history. No catalogue, no scraping — just what we already bought.
02
$/unit, every variant
Each pack size gets its true price per diaper, per wipe, per ounce. The cheapest one is what we call the recommended buy.
03
Drive + time, charged in
Round-trip miles, mpg, gas, and your hourly rate go on the store side of the receipt — the bits the store hopes you forget.
