Possum watches the groceries you actually buy at Coles, Woolworths and ALDI. Every night it checks. When your stuff goes on special, you get a morning roundup.
iPhone first, Android later. Free to start.
Whenever
Search Coles, Woolworths and ALDI in one place and watch the things that end up in your trolley every week. The coffee. The nappies. The good peanut butter.
Overnight
While you sleep, Possum checks the price of everything you watch at all three supermarkets, and notes exactly when it checked.
7:30 am
If something you watch went on special, one tidy notification turns up with breakfast. Nothing changed? No ping. Wednesday’s usually the big one.
Everything you need to shop the specials, and nothing that makes you feel like you’re doing homework.
Watch the things you buy. When any of them go on special, the possum leaves you a morning roundup: one notification, around 7:30, and only on days something changed.
Care about one thing a lot? Star it and it gets a notification of its own, at roundup time. Everything also lands in your in-app inbox.
Possum looks at how often each thing goes on special and how low it usually gets. “Usually half price about every 6 weeks at Woolworths” is your cue to skip the full-price jar.
It only says this once there’s enough real price history, and it always shows what it’s based on.
A year of prices per supermarket, on one screen. Shaded weeks were on special. Days we couldn’t check are marked on the chart, not papered over.
Make a list and Possum works out the cheapest way to buy it: all at one supermarket, or split across two. A second stop only gets suggested when the saving clears your own “worth a trip” amount.
Laundry liquid, dishwasher tablets, the coffee you’d buy anyway. When something that keeps goes half price, Possum gives you a nudge to grab a few.
Getting excited about toilet paper is a sign of maturity. We don’t make the rules.
Shopping lists are shared, so whoever’s at the shops has the list. Everyone you invite gets Plus. Watchlists stay personal, so your partner’s energy drinks don’t clog up your alerts.
Screens are from the app in testing. The prices on them are examples, not this week’s specials.
Possum is only useful if you can trust it. So here’s the fine print, up front.

Prices in Australian dollars. Plus is billed monthly through your Apple ID after the free month, and renews until you cancel in iOS Settings. See the subscription terms.
The things people ask, answered straight.
Possum is in testing on iPhone right now. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when it’s on the App Store.
Not yet. iPhone comes first, and Android is on the list for later.
Every night Possum reads the public product pages on the Coles, Woolworths and ALDI websites, and keeps each price with the time it was checked. Every price in the app shows when it was checked.
Often, but not always. Your local store can differ from the website, and prices can change during the day. Possum shows when each price was checked, so check at the shelf before you buy.
Honestly? It depends on what you buy, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Possum tells you when the things you buy are on special and how often they usually are, so you can time your shop. Any savings it shows are measured against the regular shelf price we actually saw.
No. Possum isn’t affiliated with Coles, Woolworths or ALDI. We don’t sell groceries either. We’re intelligence, not a store.
Free lets you browse prices at all three supermarkets and watch up to 5 items, with a Wednesday roundup. Plus is $2.99 a month for you, or $4.99 a month for your whole household. It unlocks unlimited watches, morning roundups any day something changes, full price history, and hints on your lists. Try it free for a month.
One person subscribes for $4.99 a month and invites the household with a code. Everyone who joins gets Plus and shares the shopping lists. Watchlists and alerts stay personal.
Subscriptions go through Apple, so you cancel in iOS Settings, under your name, then Subscriptions. Cancel at least 24 hours before your free month ends and you won’t be charged.
Only what’s needed to run Possum. We don’t sell it, and there are no third-party ad trackers. Our servers are in Sydney. The privacy policy has the details.
Possums come out at night and raid the pantry. Ours raids the supermarkets’ prices while you sleep, then leaves you a roundup by morning. No pantries were harmed.
Possum is in testing on iPhone now. Leave your email and we’ll tell you when it’s on the App Store.
