As the database of prices grows, we thought it'd be nice to be able to see the historical prices, to see if there is an observable trend. Over time, with inflation, the prices should tend upwards so we hope to be able to see that in the chart.And so, we've added a new feature called 'Historical Prices' which is represented in the form of a scatter plot over time for each product. Only stores

When you sign in to PriceChat, you would've noticed a new item in your top Menu called "My Lists".  This feature allows you to create lists comprising products found on PriceChat.  You could create a list, say of shopping items, or a list your favourite candy.  It's really easy to do.  In the "My List" page, click on the "Create a list" button.  Give your list a title and a brief description.

A couple of new features lately.  First is the picture upload feature.  Members can now upload pictures for products they've added.  After adding a new product, simply go to the Product Info page.  You should see an "Upload image" link below the default product image.  Click the link to go to the picture upload page.  Choose an image file on you PC to upload.  Only JPG, PNG and GIF images are

Hi folks!It's been awhile since I posted anything here so I thought I'd put up something on recent updates.  As you may or may not have noticed, the site has changed a bit (hopefully for the better!).  First there is more consistency now in the look and feel of the site.  We've migrated the site from using old-school HTML tables to CSS.  So if you've visited the site recently, don't be surprised

Well all good things come to an end so did my trip to Korea. It was really fantastic and fulfilling. I’d attended conference in Daejeon and visited Profs and friends back in Busan as well. But there was a huge disappointment in hunting for clothes and accessories. Really don’t have enough time and luggage space for this. I’d even strained my hand for pulling the overloaded luggage.Yeah of course,

Here's an interesting article from The Economist about food retailing in Europe. Seems like in Germany, and western Europe, discount supermarkets are becoming more and more popular. Here's how they work - Discounters stock a fraction of the goods that a normal supermarket offers, resulting in fewer suppliers, a high volume of purchases and sales, and massive economies of scale.

I’m in the midst of preparing for my trip to Korea next week. It has been a year since I came back and needless to mention, my craving for Korean food is getting more and more intense. I can’t wait to taste my all-time favourites 설렁탕(seol long tang), 돼지국밥 (twae ji kuk bap), 삼계탕 (sam kye tang)… to name a few. More importantly, I'm eagerly anticipating the 삼겹살(sam kyeop sal) + 소주 (soju) sessions

I have to admit, grocery shopping isn’t exactly one of my favourite things to do. And in all honesty, I would not go through the trouble of checking or comparing prices on brochures beforehand since I am aware that all the stores here try to differentiate themselves a little bit by offering some products with lower prices the other one does not. I used to think that shopping in a couple of places
