The Problem
Portuguese families are getting squeezed. Food inflation since 2022 pushed grocery costs up 20-30%, and wages haven't kept pace. The average family spends €400-€600/month on groceries, but:
- No one knows the cheapest option for THEIR specific basket. Preço Fresco lets you scan individual products, but nobody scans 50 items in a store. What families need is: "Here's your weekly shopping list — buy items 1-20 at Pingo Doce, items 21-35 at Lidl, and items 36-50 at Continente to save €47 this week."
- Promotions are overwhelming and fragmented. Continente has one set of discounts, Pingo Doce another, Lidl has weekly specials. Comparing across 6+ chains manually is impossible.
- Meal planning and grocery shopping are disconnected. People plan meals on one app, build lists on another, and compare prices on a third (if at all).
The existing tools (Preço Fresco, Super Save, KuantoKusta Supermercados) are product-level comparison tools. None optimize the entire weekly shop across multiple stores.
