Grocio: A Promising Price Comparison Site

Dean Sherwin — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 17:00:04 +0000

Advertisements on the TV and in newspapers from supermarkets are constantly telling us that they’re cheaper than the next guy offering “1,000 cheapest prices” etc… However, how do you really know that you’re getting a bargain on the whole shopping list all together. Well, very soon you’ll be able to find out using Grocio.

It launched a Beta on Monday in Tulsa in which supermarkets and shops submitted pricelists and coupons to the site. When users enter in their shopping list the grocery search engine does its magic and gives you the cheapest store for your shopping list. On top of that money saving idea, they will also give you coupons that you can print out and use in the store.

I can see this being a hit nationwide so long as the big stores keep submitting their price lists. Some see it a healthy competition, others see it as promotion while others see it as the end to small businesses. If the pricelists stop coming then Grocio will go down the tubes.

Gerard Buckley owns the site and is hopeful for its future. He couldn’t have picked a better time to launch such a site as people look to buy in bulk, shop around and ultimately save money.

Here on Crenk there’s already been at least two posts on how the social media world has been hit by the economic downturn, here and here. Just about every industry has been effected, and as such we’ve seen companies begin to layoff whole portions of their employed team. If employees were not let go, there were changes in management, as seen in Twitter‘s case.

That being said, TechCrunch has created a Layoff Tracker for all the layoffs that have and will be occuring in the coming months ahead. Already last week alone we saw companies like Zillow, Pandora, Adbrite, Hi5, etc, all get listed as companies doing some trimming to their employed staff.

Keep up with the latest as it happens and see if your favorite company gets listed.
