Frugace
The app that does your grocery shopping at the best price — no comparing required.
Frugace is the project I'm building right now, alongside my work as a developer. Here's where it comes from, where it stands, and how to come aboard.
How it started
Personal log
When I started living on my own and managing my own budget, I looked for ways to cut the expenses that come back every month, so I could put more aside.
Groceries quickly stood out. In France there is no shortage of levers: deals, cashback, loyalty cards, coupons. But combining them takes time and method. Most people give up; the most determined compare offers by hand and write the best combinations down on paper.
Making the right choices every time, the savings add up month after month. I wanted everyone to benefit from that, without spending their evenings on it.
That is what led me to build Frugace. I know the tricks for cutting the bill, I am meticulous about managing my budget, and my work as a full stack developer lets me turn that method into an app. The goal is simple: one button, and the app works out the most advantageous mix for your shopping list.
