Price Tracker SG : OUR STORY

Every month, there are essential things and groceries that we definitely have to buy. Groceries like rice, cooking oil, milk, eggs, meat, vegetables and essential things like body wash, shampoo, toothpaste, toilet paper and more. In the past, we only shop at our local supermarkets such as NTUC or Giant. Our monthly expense were as high as SGD 500 to SGD 600. And do bear in mind, we have already look out for offers and sales for our monthly shopping.

We remember vividly on how we ventured into Online Shopping. Few years ago, UHT milk prices at local supermarkets kept rising, and there was not much sales and offers. We decided to try searching for it online. However, as we seldom shop online, we were skeptical and worry about ordering online.

Online Shopping Safety is Our Main Concern

After researching customers reviews and checking on refund policies, we have narrowed to a few trusted well known online shopping platforms such as Shopee, Lazada, Amazon and Qoo10. These platforms have many customers reviews over many years. This gave us the confidence that they are legitimate shopping platforms.

Also, these platforms have shopping refund policies in the events when items received are damaged or the items are not delivered at all. This is made possible because the money we paid are not immediately transferred to the sellers. Instead, these platforms act as middle party to hold on to the monies and only pay the sellers when the orders are completed without any issues. This is a huge safeguard for us shopping online.

Low Prices Shock !!

We were shocked to discover that prices of the usual items we buy at local supermarkets are much lower online. This is mainly due to the reason of lower venue costs. Savings on rental of shop spaces, online sellers are able to sell the same items at a lower price.

On top of that, shopping platforms usually have discount vouchers and Free delivery vouchers. This means that we not only save more, but also enjoy free delivery of the items to our home. No need to travel and carry heavy bulky things back home.

Online Shopping it is… No Turning Back…

Ever since our first order made online, we have significantly reduced our shopping at local supermarkets. Our monthly expenses on our groceries and essentials have reduced at least 15% to 25%. This is made possible with the lower prices and platform discount vouchers.

However, we realised that in order to maximise our savings we have to search across the various shopping platforms to compare prices and also constantly check over time for price drops and then make our purchase. Thus, it is rather time consuming for us as we are also busy with our daily affairs.

The Conception of Price Tracker SG

Having a Computer Engineering Degree and experience with website application development and programming since the age of 17, I have decided to use technology to assist in our Online Shopping.

Together with Android App Development experience of more than 5 years, we have decided to create Price Tracker SG to help us in searching of items across various shopping platforms, comparing items prices and tracking items for Price Drop.

1. It starts with How to Attract Victims to Respond to Them
   
2. Once victims reach out to the scammers, there will be a detailed and appear to be legitimate process flow story.
   
3. Scammers will have a story ready to convince you that there are certain steps that you have to do, in order to get the bargain deal. By Not doing so, you will miss out on the deal.
