Start with the quantity shown beside each item, such as 12 eggs or 12 ounces of ground coffee, and adjust it to match what you buy. We multiply each quantity by its latest category price per unit, then add up your basket.
Your city selection controls the totals, history, and comparison together. The item editor shows unit prices for the first city you select. With multiple cities, the breakdown compares item costs side by side. Dates show when each price was observed; partial totals identify available items.
The history chart applies your current items and quantities to each date. A daily total appears when every item has a price in that city area on that date; gaps show dates without a complete basket. Your latest total above uses each item's latest available price, so its price dates can differ.
These are estimates based on tracked category prices for the listed city areas. To explore individual category histories, view price trends.
Let's compare the same basket in different cities. First, choose your city area. Select Eggs and coffee from Example basket, then Load example.
Change eggs to twenty-four and watch your total update. You can edit the quantity of any item. To add something else, choose Add item and search the full list.
Your basket total uses prices for the selected city. Below it, compare the same items and amounts across the tracked city areas. Each difference is measured from the lowest complete total.
Choose another city to view its receipt. Check the price dates, and look for any partial baskets. Start with an example, then make it yours.
