OpenAisle

Grocery pricing is increasingly hard to track: prices change often, promotions are inconsistent and confusing, different formats make comparisons messy, and people suspect unfairness or quiet price increases but lack concrete local evidence. Food is non-optional, and price opacity becomes a tax on time, transportation, and attention—resources many households don't have.

OpenAisle converts private frustration into public clarity. Using barcode identification, quick entry workflows, receipt confirmation, and smart normalization (unit pricing, membership vs. non-membership), we build a shared, usable picture of what food costs by item, store, and time. Users can plan where to shop, verify prices in-aisle, and track changes over time.
