Lowtein

“Lowtein is a simple website that geolocates you and tells you about the cheapest proteins available in your location. Here in Pittsburgh, for example, it informs me that Giant Eagle has a special on pork chops (56% blow the regional average price), Martin’s Food Market has inexpensive bacon, and that you can’t easily go wrong at Aldis. It has listings for 171 cities in the U.S. and Canada, and options to filter your preferred proteins and search for specific items. A metholodology page explains the creator’s plan. Theres no accounts, ads, or affiliate links. Each week, we pull the weekly ad from every major grocery chain that serves your city. We extract the price, item name, validity dates, and source link. We normalize prices to a common unit (per pound for meat, per litre for milk, per 100 g for cheese, per dozenfor eggs) so different retailers’ pack sizes can be ranked side-by-side. Then we show you the cheapest.”
