How we choose

Built to find the cheaper reasonable option

For generic basket items, the comparison is intentionally brand-neutral. We search both retailer APIs, require the requested pack size where available, reject obvious specialty variants that were not requested, then select the lowest-priced product that still qualifies as a strong match.

The matching system also supports product-specific required and forbidden terms. For example, a beef sausage comparison can require both beef and sausage while rejecting pet food, and butter can reject peanut butter and other unrelated products.

If a result does not pass validation, it is deliberately shown as unavailable and does not contribute to either supermarket total. Accuracy beats a full-looking basket.

What counts in the total?

  • Fresh API price
  • Strong product match
  • Correct requested pack size
  • No unrequested specialty variant
  • Direct retailer product link

Retailer prices and availability can change. Confirm on the linked retailer page before purchasing.

Beta feedback helps. See a wrong price or product match? Report it so we can check the retailer source.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

How does Tumut.org choose the grocery products?

For generic basket items, Tumut.org searches each supermarket API, validates required product words, rejects known wrong categories and forbidden terms, requires the requested pack size where supplied, and only publishes a match when it passes the confidence rules.

Are these prices guaranteed at every store?

Prices come from the configured Coles and Woolworths product APIs and can change. Use the exact-product link to confirm the current retailer price and availability before shopping.

How are basket totals calculated?

Only fresh API-verified product pairs are included in the basket totals. Stale, low-confidence or unmatched products are excluded.

Why might the products be different brands?

The goal of this basket is to find the cheapest reasonable equivalent at each supermarket, not force the same brand where the basket item is generic.
