Is this special actually a good deal?
Specials are checked against our own price history, built week by week for the products in your plan, so you can tell a real drop from the usual price coming back.

one stop or two
Your time counts too
Every trip is priced for your whole list, so you see what each option costs. A second stop is only suggested when it saves you $5 or more. Because the mid-week top-up shop sucks.

Questions
What is Frugalicious?
Frugalicious is an Australian meal planner app for iPhone that prices your recipes on this week's specials. Save the recipes you love, and it builds your week around them, prices one list for one shop, and tracks what you save week by week. Built in Australia, for real Aussie households.
Are discounts actually real?
Not always. Some are just the usual price again after a recent rise. That's why specials are checked against our own price history, built week by week for the products in your plan.
What day do the specials change?
Wednesday. Coles and Woolworths start their new weekly specials on Wednesday, and Frugalicious picks up the new prices at all three chains early that morning. If you turn on notifications, it nudges you when your shops' new specials land.
Is Coles, Woolworths or ALDI cheaper?
It depends on your list and on what's on special that week. Frugalicious prices your whole list at the Coles, Woolworths and ALDI stores you choose, defaults to one shop, and only suggests a second stop when it saves $5 or more.
How is it different from a price comparison app?
It plans what you cook, not just what you pay. Price comparison apps tell you what's cheap. Frugalicious tells you what to cook with it, and when: a 15-minute dinner on your late night, leftovers for Monday's lunch, and the other half of the cabbage used up on Thursday.
Does it track what I save?
Yes. Every plan shows what it saves, and your total builds week by week. Savings are checked against our own price history.
Do I need an account to start?
No. Start as a guest and plan your first week straight away. Add your Apple ID or email whenever you want your plan on a new phone too.
How long does it take to set up?
Only a few quick questions: your shops, who's eating, and anything you never eat. Then your first week is ready to check, swap and shop.
Can I save recipes from TikTok and Instagram?
Yes. Share a recipe from TikTok, Instagram, a website, a screenshot or photo, or your notes to Frugalicious, and it's read, priced at your shops with this week's specials, and ready to plan on a night.
Will it send me notifications?
Only if you turn them on: a nudge on Wednesday when your shops' new specials land.
Which stores does it cover?
Coles, Woolworths and ALDI, at the exact stores you choose near you. We're starting in Victoria and the rest of Australia is next: add your postcode when you join the waitlist and we'll tell you when we reach you.
Where do the recipes come from?
From trusted Australian cooks, and from the recipes you save yourself. Suggested recipes link you straight to the original page to cook from, and anything you save is planned and priced too.
Is Frugalicious an Australian app?
Yes. Frugalicious (frugalicious.net) is built in Australia, for Australian households, and plans around the Coles, Woolworths and ALDI stores you shop at.
What does it cost?
It's free during our launch.
