Why do we analyze receipts?
Data from receipts tell us the truth about how much Poles pay on average for individual items. We analyze 14 basic products that are on the shopping lists of most Poles.
PanParagon is a popular application that allows you to search for promotions and store receipts. Every month, approximately 2 million proofs of purchase enter the system. Such extensive, anonymous data from receipts allows us to create reliable analyzes regarding, among others: actual product prices, real inflation or current purchasing trends.
The tool is used by residents of both large cities and smaller centers. Both those who buy in discount stores and those who prefer local grocery stores. This gives us a full price range.
