SHOP WITH A CLEARER HEAD
Simple ways to make your own decisions, with official sources you can explore.
01 / COMPARE
The ACCC explains that unit prices help people compare grocery products. Check equivalent quantities: a 500 mL bottle and a 1 L bottle need the same comparison unit. Then consider whether you will use the larger pack.
Our calculator uses your own numbers. It does not retrieve retailer prices or claim a saving against another store.

Check cupboards before writing a list. Measure storage spaces. Separate essentials from optional extras, and include the cost of delivery or a shopping trip in your budget.
Buying extra just to reach a discount or free-delivery threshold may raise your total spend. Decide what fits your needs, rather than chasing a headline.
