PROBLEM

Deals are always people’s favorite things to look for, even when it comes to grocery shopping. However, a lot of the time, people usually find deals on certain items, and they have to purchase the rest of their shopping list full-priced. For people who go grocery shopping, they would like to know which store offers the best price for each item on their list and which store offers the best quality based on their income without having to drive to multiple locations.
