GitHub “Finish-Up-A-Thon” Challenge Submission
This is a submission for the GitHub Finish-Up-A-Thon Challenge
What I Built
Food costs are on a rise, shopping at one store can only give you the deals for that store. Name brand vs. store brand is another way to save money. By shopping at multiple stores, we can leverage the cost of food in a new way. That's what this online app does, gives you the cost of items at various stores so you can pick the lowest priced items as necessary. Shopping at multiple stores will save you $$ on every grocery run and the possibility to save hundreds of dollars a month.
It started as an Android app using the Parse database. Now I transformed the application to be web based with Firebase for authentication and data storage. This app isn't only for myself saving money, but to spread awareness of understanding pricing for food differs for the area in which you live and inner cities have lots of options. Grabbing a box dinner of an item could be $1.99 at your favorite store, but the regular price could be just $0.99 down the street, a savings of $1.00 for a year would be $365.00.
