Portland, Oregon — prototype
Local Cart compares prices at the grocery stores closest to you, tells you what is actually on the shelf, and shows you who offers pickup or delivery. One search, every nearby store.
How it works
Enter your ZIP code. Local Cart finds every grocery store within driving distance and puts them on a map.
One item or a full list. You see price, package size, unit price, distance, and whether it is in stock right now.
Local Cart shows the cheapest single trip, the cheapest split trip, and which stores offer pickup or delivery.
What is coming
This is the build plan for Local Cart. Pages go live as they are finished.
Search an item and see every nearby store side by side: price, package size, unit price, distance, and what you save by choosing one over another.

Availability gets its own page: In Stock, Low Stock, Out of Stock, or Availability Unknown, by location. A cheap price means nothing if the shelf is empty.

Your ZIP code on a real map. Tap a store for address, hours, distance, what it carries, pickup and delivery options, and directions.
See the plan→
Which stores let you order ahead, who delivers to your address, and what it costs. For anyone without a car or without a free afternoon.

Enter your whole list. Local Cart does the math and tells you the cheapest single store, or the best two-store split and exactly what it saves.

The part people care about
Local Cart prices your list at every nearby store, then checks whether splitting the trip beats a single stop. Here is what that looks like for a 14-item weekly list.
One stop: WinCo Foods
2.4 mi · everything in stock
$42.16
Split: WinCo + Fred Meyer
WinCo $24.60 · Fred Meyer $9.19 · 3.1 mi total
$33.79
You save$8.37
Sample data shown for demonstration.
Most shoppers pick a store out of habit. The difference between the habit and the best option is real money every week, and nobody has time to check four stores by hand. Local Cart checks them in a second.
It also counts the trip. If a $2 saving costs you a ten mile detour, Local Cart says so instead of pretending it is a win.
Why Local Cart exists
Every store posts its prices, but no one shows them together. So people overpay, drive across town for something out of stock, or skip the trip entirely. Local Cart puts the whole neighborhood's shelf in one place, starting in Portland.
1 search
