Total Amount and Calculating the Total Cost

Q: Why is the total amount of my grocery list on WiseList app 0?

The total price is shown as $0 when there are no items with comparable prices from both Coles and Woolworths in your grocery list. WiseList calculates and displays only the difference in total prices between items that are available at both supermarkets. This approach avoids misleading comparisons where an item is only available at one retailer but not the other.

For example, if your list includes an item exclusively sold at Woolworths, such as Chimbote Dulce De Leche Traditional, it won’t be included in the total price comparison because there’s no equivalent item at Coles to compare it against. Including it could give the false impression that one supermarket is significantly cheaper or more expensive overall.

To see the total price comparison effectively, please ensure your list includes items sold at both supermarkets. Additionally, if our system identifies that shopping from both supermarkets could save you money, a “Mix and Match Savings” indicator will appear, suggesting an optimal shopping strategy for maximum savings.
