Converting is the first step
Converting a price into your budget’s currency makes a comparison possible, but not complete. The same product name can mean different things in two cities.
What we watch
- Product type. “Milk” may be fresh in one place and long-life in another; we keep them as separate types.
- Unit price. We compare the price per kilo or per litre, not the price of a pack.
- Date. The price and the rate should belong to the same period.
- Source. We always take a price from an opened product page; a search-result snippet is never a price.
The result
That is why we never call a country cheap or expensive. We show what a budget buys.
