Fred is a purchasing assistant that you can carry along with you to the supermarket. He ensures that you buy the right product by converting the list price into a comparable base price.

Let’s say product X costs $3.99 for 295g and product Y costs $8.99 for 591g, do you know which one is actually cheaper? Now, if I tell you that 100g of product X costs $1.35 and 100g of product Y costs $1.52, wouldn’t that make it much easier to decide which one is cheaper? Fred helps to solve this problem. 🙂

@clydedsouza It is very important to know price for a kilo or a liter. Thanks!

Hey ?makers thanks for introducing Fred! Question for ya, will you be able to add lbs there? Will be bookmarking this to my phone. Cheers!

Hi @rgenzon! Thanks for the comment. No, I don't have plans to add lbs to Fred at this stage. However, if I get multiple requests for this feature, then I might reconsider. Fred is open-source (https://github.com/ClydeDz/fred), so feel free to fork a copy of the repository and contribute this feature directly, if that works for you instead. Thanks!
