Grocery Price Calculator

We know that currently, we are unable to provide all prices. You must remember, a big store like Giant or Tesco will have more than 15,000 items while a small store like 99 Speedmart will have around 4000 items.

So, how do you compare prices? As far as we know, only Tesco shows price in per 100 unit (i.e. RM / 100g) With this, you can compare prices for different packaging price.

So, when you shop, do you bring a calculator with you? All current smart phone has a calculator in it. But, it is still a chore to do the following:
Price / weight * 100 to get the per 100 unit price.

What happen when you have the following price: Buy 1st item at RM15.00, 2nd item, 25% off. You will have to:
Price + 25% x Price / (1000 x 2) * 100
to get the per 100 unit price.

Well, we have decided to put in a Grocery Price Calculator into your Price Search result. It is located at below the Product Menu. Just type in your price or percent discount x price. Then type in the weight.

In the above example, the price after 15% (type in 100-15=85) discount for weight 33g x 20 unit. The price per 100g is 1.54.

You can type in *, /, x, +, -, % (percent) into the calculator.

We hope you like this function. Now, we can easily compare prices.

One more thing, if you have a smartphone, you can also find the Grocery Price Calculator in our Mobile version. It is located on the top of the Price Search result page.

Slogan

I did not plan to have a slogan for my service. However, this just came out suddenly from my mind:

Save your time,
Save your money,
Save yourself from agony.

That basically summarizes what Savers Hub will do: Saves you the trouble of wasting your time and money.

I like the slogan since it rhymes at the last two sentences.

My Dream

I stayed in Germany for 3 years. In Germany, you can find all the info in the Internet. Back here in Malaysia. I cannot even find the information concerning the bus route in the place I stayed. Many companies just don't bother to use the Internet to enhance the efficiency of their business. What a disappointment!

Actually, I had this idea of consolidating all the information in a Website 5 years ago. It didn't take off because I was working at MMU then. Too busy with teaching for me to do anything. Furthermore, I was drawing a steady income. No point to resign and take risk to start my own business. Well, now I'm out of work due to funding problems in job in Germany. As I'm officially out of employment, I have nothing to loose. Therefore I'm embarking the dream that I had 5 years ago.

SaversHub is a Website where you can get all the information for our daily activities. I can't tell you more until I come out the prototype. Speed is an essence and I can't effort other to beat me to that. Failure is not an option!

The intention of this blog is to document my journey in setting up this new Web service. I'll post up the milestones that I have achieved or any ideas that I have. I have 1 more month to get my prototype out before the end of this decade.

Hopefully, SaversHub will become the Google of our physical world.
