👩‍💻
"

After moving to Michigan as an international student, I quickly realized how difficult it was to find affordable groceries, compare prices, and discover stores that carried foods from home. PriceScout was created to help students save money, discover international markets, and make grocery shopping less stressful.

Why Students Love It

Built for student budgets

Three reasons PriceScout is different from anything else out there.

💰
Save Money

Compare grocery prices across every store near campus instantly. See exactly how much you can save before you leave home.

🌎
Discover International Foods

Find stores near campus that carry products from around the world — often at a fraction of the price of mainstream supermarkets.

🧾
Help the Community

Upload your grocery receipts and automatically keep prices up-to-date for every student in your city. Shopping helps everyone.

The Problem

Your grocery budget shouldn't be a guessing game

Between classes, labs, and everything else — who has time to drive around comparing prices?

😓
The old way

You either pick the closest store and pay more, or spend your Sunday afternoon driving to three different places hoping to save a few dollars. You never really know if you got the best price.

✨
With PriceScout

Scan a barcode or snap a receipt and instantly see prices at every store near campus. The whole community keeps prices updated — so you always have the freshest data, not yesterday's flyer.

What Students Are Saying

We listened before we built

We talked to students across UMich, EMU, and WCC. Here's what they told us they need.

💸

"I'd love to know which store has the best price before I leave home — not after I'm already in the checkout line wondering if I'm overpaying."

MR
UMich student
Junior — Engineering
🧾

"If I could just snap my receipt and automatically track where my grocery money is going, that would save me so much time every week."

SL
EMU student
Sophomore — Business
🌍

"There are so many international markets near campus I don't know about. I'd definitely shop there more if I knew what they carried and how prices compared."
