InflataCart: Inflation Data in Your Cart

InflataCart is the smart grocery list app that integrates official inflation data, empowering you to shop with knowledge and understanding. Unlike the headlines, InflataCart delivers an unfiltered, personalized view of how larger economic trends are impacting the cost of your everyday essentials.

How It Works

• Add any grocery item to your list, just like a regular shopping app
• For items tracked by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), relevant inflation data is automatically displayed
• Tap any item for detailed 5-year inflation analytics and insights
• Explore trends by adjusting for inflation to see historical high and low prices
• Browse and add items directly from the BLS database of tracked goods
• Check off items as you shop, then delete or save for future reference

Who It's For

• Anyone curious to watch US grocery prices go up or down
• Savvy shoppers seeking to replace their current grocery list app
• Anyone looking to adopt a digital tool to manage their shopping
• Consumers wanting to understand how economic forces impact their spending
• Data enthusiasts and economists interested in ground-level inflation insights
