New Feature: Pantry Tracking is Here

The most requested feature is finally here. Build a complete profile of your household's corporate footprint.

We've heard you loud and clear. Since launch, the #1 requested feature has been the ability to track products over time—not just scan them once. Today, we're thrilled to announce Pantry Tracking is live for all Buy'r users.

What is Pantry Tracking?

Pantry Tracking lets you build a digital inventory of every product in your home. Scan your entire kitchen, bathroom, or garage in one session, and Buy'r will:

  • Calculate your household's Corporate Diversity Score
  • Show which mega-corporations dominate your spending
  • Track changes over time as you make more conscious choices
  • Identify opportunities to support independent brands

How It Works

  1. Scan everything - Use Buy'r's rapid-scan mode to quickly add products. Most users complete their kitchen in under 10 minutes.
  2. Review your profile - See beautiful visualizations of your corporate footprint. Pie charts show which parent companies get your money.
  3. Set goals - Want to reduce your reliance on a specific mega-corp? Set a target and track your progress.
  4. Share with family - Invite household members to contribute to the same pantry.

Early Results

During our beta test, we discovered some eye-opening statistics:

  • The average American household has products from 47 brands but only 11 parent corporations
  • Just 5 companies (Nestlé, P&G, Unilever, PepsiCo, Johnson & Johnson) account for 68% of products in the average home
  • Users who tracked their pantry reduced mega-corp concentration by 23% over 3 months

Get Started

Pantry Tracking is available now in the latest version of Buy'r. Update your app and look for the new "Pantry" tab in the bottom navigation.

Happy scanning!
