buy anyway —
on sale.
Nappies, coffee, washing powder, sunscreen, the good yoghurt. Tell Valu the price you'd happily pay, and we'll watch Coles, Woolies, ALDI, Chemist Warehouse and Priceline every day until it gets there. Then your phone buzzes.

Your usual shops, checked every single day
Wednesday's new catalogue prices are in the app before 9am — and last week's finished specials are already gone.
How it works
Set it once.
We'll watch it forever.
Add the things you actually buy
Search it, or scan the barcode while you're standing in the aisle. Nappies, formula, coffee, vitamins, sunscreen, laundry — whatever's on repeat in your house.
Say what you'd happily pay
A percentage off, a dollar price, or a target per 100g / 100ml / per nappy. Set it on one pack size, or across every size at once.
Get the buzz. Grab it. Tick it off.
A notification the moment your price lands, with the shop and a link straight to it. Tick "bought" and it clears out of your alerts.
What's already built
The fiddly bits other
price apps skip.
Everything below is live in the app today — not a someday roadmap.
Honest per-unit pricing
Cost per 100g, per 100ml, per nappy, per wash, per capsule. Multi-packs are unpacked properly, so a 10-pack and a 4-pack compare fairly.
Drops to 10ml / 10g for little sizesThe small pack often wins
Huggies Size 5 in 32 and 64 packs sit together. On special, the 32 pack is 38c a nappy and the big box is 45c — bigger isn't always cheaper, and Valu shows you which is.
Sizes grouped automaticallyMatched by barcode
The same tub at Coles, Woolies and Chemist Warehouse is matched on its barcode — so you're comparing the same thing, not a lookalike.
40,000+ barcodes matched90 days of price history
A little chart per shop showing what it really costs. So you can spot a dressed-up "was" price before you hand over your money.
Lowest-in-90-days on every alert"2 for $10" done properly
Multi-buys are read and priced out for you, instead of showing at full price like nearly everywhere else.
Real per-item price worked outNever a dead special
Every sale carries an expiry. When the Wed–Tue catalogue turns over, the old price drops off by itself. No trip to the shop for a deal that's finished.
72-hour freshness ceilingScan it in the aisle
Point your camera at anything on the shelf: is it cheaper elsewhere, what has it cost lately, and add it to your list on the spot.
Camera permission asked onceNutrition & ingredients
Per-100g panels and ingredient lists on grocery items, so the cheaper swap can still be the right one for your family.

Switch off the retailers you'd never set foot in, so you only hear about deals you can actually get to.
Alerts filtered per shopBuilt for people, not procurement teams
We all love a bargain.
Here's one.
Built by someone who was sick of doing this the hard way. Here's why.
Valu started because I was forever searching for the best value on the things I buy most weeks — hours spent on my phone looking for things on special. Never again.
Life is more expensive than ever and busier than ever. Buying things full price is no longer an option, and spending my spare time googling sales takes up too much of my precious time.
No trawling catalogues, no group chats full of deals you don't want. Just your things, at your price, on your phone.
Why nothing else quite does it
Everything else makes
you do the watching.
