HOUSEHOLDS across the Mid North Coast will soon have access to a new tool to help manage grocery costs, through a partnership between Greater Bank and Newcastle-based fintech “Grocerize”.
Created by Newcastle dad Blake Bennett, Grocerize compares supermarket prices and highlights savings opportunities for families.
Greater Bank told News Of The Area that users of the platform save an average of 28 percent on their weekly grocery bills.
The website uses publicly available pricing from supermarket websites to help users compare the cost of items in their weekly shop and identify where they can save the most.
“Grocerize has always been about solving a problem I knew many families were facing – how to shop smarter when every dollar counts,” Mr Bennett said.
Grocerize is now expanding nationally, including into the Mid North Coast, where cost-of-living pressures remain high.
“To now partner with Greater Bank, an organisation that shares those values and has strong ties to communities like the Mid North Coast is incredibly exciting,” he said.
“It means we can put the tool into more hands and make a real difference.”
As part of the initiative, Greater Bank is offering eligible customers a free six-month subscription to Grocerize Premium.
