FAQs

🛒 Using PricePulse

Does PricePulse change the way I shop?

Nope! Shop on your usual supermarket websites. PricePulse quietly compares prices and pops up when something is cheaper elsewhere.

How does the price history feature work?

No sign-up needed — just install the extension and start shopping.

Do I need to do anything once it’s installed?

No. Just select your favourite stores and PricePulse runs automatically in the background.

Does PricePulse affect my checkout or delivery?

Not at all. You still pay and check out directly with your chosen supermarket.

Can I still use my loyalty card?

Yes! Keep using your normal loyalty cards. PricePulse factors in loyalty pricing.

My cart totals don’t match — why?

Make sure you’re logged into your loyalty account so we can include those discounts.
Also note: bag fees, delivery fees, and similar extras aren’t included in PricePulse’s totals.

💸 Saving Money

How does PricePulse help me save?

Shop as normal — PricePulse shows you where your basket is cheaper and helps you save every week.

I’m loyal to one supermarket. Will PricePulse still help?

Yes! We highlight when something is a great deal, average, or overpriced at your store, so you know when to buy or wait.

How do you decide if a product is “Awesome”, “Good”, or “Ouch”?

We look at all historical price points across your chosen retailers and rate items using quartiles — simple, smart price history.

You install it once, and it quietly helps you while you shop — no tech skills needed.

3. Click “Add to Chrome”
You’ll see a big blue button at the top right.

A small box will pop up asking you to confirm. Click Add Extension — that’s it!

5. You’re all set — Start shopping!
The extension installs in a few seconds.

🔐 Data & Privacy

Will you spam me with emails?

No. We don’t spam.

Are you selling my data?

We never sell your personal data.
We do create anonymised, aggregated insights (for example, general shopping trends) that may be shared with partners — but these reports never contain anything that can identify you or your shopping history.

Will you share my personal information?

No. We don’t share personal data with advertisers or third parties.
Any insights we provide externally are combined and anonymised, so they cannot be linked back to you.
