Four steps from opening the app to having a clear, organised shopping plan. No complexity, no jargon. Just a better way to shop.
Enter your city and postcode so Sprout knows which stores are near you and can show accurate distances in your results. New Zealand only for now. Australia and the UK are coming soon.
Enter how much you want to spend this week in NZD. This is the number Sprout works backwards from. Everything else is shaped around it. Your budget is always the first priority, not an afterthought.
Type items one by one, paste a whole list at once, or import a CSV. Sprout handles the matching automatically, so "beef mince" becomes the right product in the right store at the right price. You don't need to be precise.
This is where Sprout gets interesting. You can select any combination of shopping priorities and dietary requirements, or skip this step entirely and just go straight to cheapest. Nothing is forced. Nothing is judged.
You can switch between them freely. Some weeks it's budget only. Some weeks you want to do things properly. Both are completely valid.
Skip the filters and go straight to the best prices across supermarkets. Fast, no fuss, totally useful.
All the above, plus results from independent NZ shops matched to your selected priorities.
Your results page is designed to give you everything you need to make a decision, nothing more.
Total spend, remaining budget, number of items found, stores used, and priority matches at a glance.
Each store has its own section with a subtotal, distance from you, and all matched items listed underneath.
Every item shows which priorities it meets so you can see at a glance if it matches what you asked for.
A small map shows all the stores in your results so you can plan your route or decide which is worth the trip.
Click Visit Store to go straight to the shop's website, or Order Now for shops with direct ordering available.
The Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen guide at the bottom of your results helps you know where organic spending counts most.
Is Sprout free to use?
Yes. The core Sprout experience is completely free. You can plan your weekly shop, use all the priority filters, and access the organic guide without paying anything. A premium tier with extra features like saved lists and order history is coming soon.
Where does the pricing data come from?
For supermarkets, Sprout pulls pricing from Countdown, Pak'nSave, and New World. For independent shops, we work directly with our partner network to keep their pricing as accurate and up to date as possible.
Does Sprout take a cut of my purchase?
Sprout earns a small affiliate commission of up to 3% when you click through to a shop and make a purchase. This never affects the price you pay. It's how we keep the app free for users.
What if an item isn't available in my area?
Sprout will show you the closest available option and flag if something can't be matched locally. Over time as our partner network grows, more items will be available in more regions.
Can I order directly through Sprout?
For some partner shops, yes. If a shop offers direct ordering, you'll see an Order Now button in your results. For others, Sprout redirects you to the shop's website to complete your purchase there.
Is Sprout available outside New Zealand?
Not yet. We're launching in New Zealand first to get things right before expanding. Australia is next, followed by the UK. If you're outside NZ and want to be notified when Sprout reaches your country, get in touch.
Free to use. No sign up required. Your budget, your values, your way.
