How this is worked out

Each app’s line is its lowest listed price for the product in the 14 days, dated, not a promise of what you will pay. Listings join only on matching brand and model words. The full method is on the food and grocery page, with the cooking oils and noodles comparisons. A brand or app that believes a figure is wrong can write to us.
