About Kete
Kete is a grocery price tracker for New Zealand. Every day we record the prices of tens of thousands of products at Woolworths, New World, PAK'nSAVE and The Warehouse, and make them easy to compare — so you can see which supermarket is cheapest for your weekly shop, how prices have moved over time, and what's actually on special.
How pricing works
Most stores of a supermarket charge the same price across an island, but prices can differ between individual stores (New World's inner-city Metro stores are the most visible example), so Kete records the price it found at each store.
A price labelled like "Priced at New World Albany · North Island" is the price we recorded at that store. Woolworths prices are based on their delivery suburbs, so the store label reflects the suburb the price came from. Use the store picker on any product to compare prices at the store where you'd shop.
What you can do
- Compare prices — search any product and see what each supermarket charges today.
- Track history — every product has a price history chart.
- Find the movers — see the biggest price drops, rises and deepest specials of the week.
- Check the Kete Index — we track the same 16-item basket Consumer NZ uses.
- Scan barcodes — point your camera at a product's barcode to look it up instantly.
Where the data comes from
Prices are collected daily from publicly available information on supermarket websites. Kete has no affiliation with any supermarket. Prices are shown for informational purposes only — always check the shelf (or the app) before you buy.
Free, private, no ads
Kete is free to use and has no advertising. You don't need an account to search, compare or track prices — an account is optional and only adds a personal dashboard and settings. See our privacy policy for details.
