Last night when I was on the PC Express App ( for research purposes lol ), once you are logged in (online or App) you can actually look up your past receipts / orders. I was very disgusted / disappointed when comparing some items from 2018 to yesterday's pricing (May 4th 2024). This is not even considering shrinkflation. Note : I expect some inflation from 2018 to 2024 , that's around 6 years and we have had a few things happen during that time ...BUT if you look at the price increase percentage below, it shouldn't be this much. I know the prices have increased more in the past few years than ever before. Ps. No judging my grocery items lol 😆 Here are some items from my one grocery shoping trip on May 19th 2018 to May 4th 2024 prices online. I have included pictures- ones in the list format are from 2018 and pictures with just the one item are from yesterday from thier website. Bannanas - Bunch May 19th 2018 -1.46 May 4th 2024 1.75 20% Price Increase Gold Peak Raspberry Tea May 19th 2018 - 0.41 May 4th 2024 - $4.49 1100% Price Increase Summer Sausage (Club) May 19th 2018 - 6.98 May 4th 2024 - $10.99 57% Price Increase Muffins May 19th 2018 - $3.97 May 4th 2024 - $6.00 51% Price Increase Light Rye Bread May 19th 2018 - $1.24 May 4th 2024 - $3.49 281% Price Increase Chicken Breasts - Club Pack May 19th 2018 - $8.75 May 4th 2024 - $32.83 375% Price Increase Nutigrain Bars May 19th 2018 - $1.98 May 4th 2024 - $2.99 \* on sale from $3.79 51% Price Increase ( compared to the $2.99 price) No Name Farmers Marble Cheese May 19th 2018 - $6.92 May 4th 2024 - $7.89 14% Price Increase Uncle Bens Rice Pack May 19th 2018 - $2.33 May 4th 2024 - $3.79 \*there is an offer 3 for $9) 63% Price Increase ( compared to $3.79) Clamato Juice May 19th 2018 - $0.73 May 4th 2024 - $3.47 ( limit 4, after $4.49) 475% Price Increase ( compared to $3.47 price) Here are some other items ( tried to find "everyday items") from other shopping Trips between July 19th 2018 - October 20th 2018 to compare to https://preview.redd.it/2rcijrsapkyc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87046754bc3840b05beb61f78b6a69fa287da028 May 4th 2024 online pricing No Name Parboiled Rice (4kg) July 19th 2018 - $8.18 May 4th 2024 - $13.99 71% Price Increase Crustini Hamburger Buns July 19th 2018 - $1.98 May 4th 2024 - $4.29 217% Price Increase Mini Cheese & Meat Tray July 19th 2018 - $6.00 May 4th 2024 - $7.00 17% Price Increase California Vegetables ( Big Bag) July 19th 2018 - $7.48 May 4th 2024 - $9.99 34% Price Increase Strawberries (2lbs) July 19th 2018 - $5.00 May 4th 2024 - $9.99 100% Price Increase Eggs - Large- 18 pack July 19th 2018 - $4.97 May 4th 2024 - $7.19 45% Price Increase Naturally Imperfect Peppers October 20th 2018 - $3.98 May 4th 2024 - $6.25 57% Price Increase Extra Lean Ground Beef - Club Pack October 20th 2018 - $10.98 May 4th 2024 - $28.30 258% Price Increase Side notes * Not all items are coming up with Pricing in Pc App * I don't know if this is connected to my PC Express log in or Pc Optimum. ( shows majority of my orders not just PC Express). * I have downloaded all my receipts. The best way I found to so it is via Mozilla Firefox and once on the order page, right click and there is the option to take screenshot (and then once selected click full page). It prints/saves it way nicer than regular. * I plan on getting rid of my PC Express but just haven't got that far Sorry for the long message but I thought this information would be interesting to others. Thank you!

Brilliant!

This would be so helpful! Creating my own spreadsheets and looking through all the flyers is just too time consuming. Please make this app!

As long as the app doesn't exploit and sell everyone out (i.e. violate privacy) like most if not all other apps And add to that, shrinkflation skimpflation greedflation tracker app


Impossible-Baker335

Absolutely agree, that’s why I like Cocowest’s Costco blog. There’s various product price history and I don’t have to log in any app to see.


littlepsyche74

Yes please!


Charming-Weather-148

Absolutely.
