Basket - Grocery Shopping

I find this app helpful as a price searching tool, but useless as an actual shopping list. Instead of telling me a singular store to go to, I wish it would let me choose multiple store. So, for example, I select my milk, find the best store, then assign which store I will get it from while including the price.

I used to like Basket a lot - I used it compare prices but it won’t even let me do that; it’s just using Walmart, and not other stores.

I had an account on the app, but now it won’t let me login. After the tapping on the ‘Get Started’ button, the app takes me to a signup screen. There is a ‘Log in’ option at the bottom of the screen, but tapping on that just toggles back and forth with a ‘Sign up’ option with no change in the screen (still on sign up).

Hard to get app to identify products you want (such as fresh blueberries), crunchmaster crackers. Only included one store in my town. Not useful. Could be great. But it aint great.

Doesn’t allow you to pick more than one store at once, doesn’t show side by side store comparisons, and when you put in an item it doesn’t automatically choose the cheapest or store brand, it will be some random item in that category, making it less of an accurate comparison across stores.

Well, I loved the idea but it’s not worth the time because it’s easy to verify how incredibly inaccurate it is by using various grocery store apps to look up individual items’ prices which do not match those listed on Basket. They just be using some very old data to list their prices because most are much cheaper than what the actual prices are. Inflation has happened, folks. Just gonna go back to using store apps and:or shopping where I know the deals are.

I had massive hopes for this app, but it turned out were totally unfounded. I used it to search local stores to build my typical grocery list and I started off at Aldi‘s to buy bananas and a 2 pound bag of onions… bananas were supposed to be $.39 a pound and were actually $.59 a pound… the $2.99 bag of onions was actually $3.95… sprouts supposedly had a sale on strawberries for $1.50 a pound and they were actually $4.98… I asked the produce guy if they had recently been on sale and he said they were three weeks ago but even then they were $2.99 a pound. Publix supposedly had a particular hefty garbage bag for $7.95 and the cheapest hefty bag was $9.99. it was like this throughout every single item on my list. I will be discarding this app and going back to my normal shopping circuit. I do not know where they are getting their database information, but it is totally not correct. every item I checked, was off anywhere from a few cents to several dollars. I even re-downloaded the app while I was standing in the store hoping maybe I would get an up-to-date price, but it was showing the same incorrect information.

This app lacks basic functionality. I can’t even pull up my password manager maybe because the input fields lack labels or something. I’ll come back when this is in place.

great app to compare prices at stores in your area

Prices and products available are not accurate. Ex milk price on app at aldi $2.39 actual price $2.89. Onion seasoned tator tots app said available at Walmart but Walmart doesn’t carry them.
