About Lowtein
Lowtein shows weekly grocery and meat prices for specific cities in Canada, the United States, Australia and the UK, and compares advertised prices with an independent reference. In Canada and the US the reference is government-published averages from Statistics Canada and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; in Australia and the UK it is a cross-retailer comparison.
Prices are tracked week over week and each listing links to the retailer for verification. The site loads city deals without an account and publishes national series with downloadable CSV and JSON data under CC BY 4.0.
