Best for You, if you want the real unit price at the stores you use.
Our review
What it does well
- Found a best unit price and the per-unit math checked out.
- Warned when the best price needed a coupon.
- Flagged a weekend-only sale and a delivery fee that can wipe out the savings.
- Refused to use someone else's store account.
Where it falls short
- One food comparison was not like for like, so the savings on that line were off.
Not tested yet:
- Scheduled deal runs.
- Prices checked live in the aisle.
