Background
Understanding precisely where money goes during every grocery shop is a vital tool in household budgeting. Currently receipts fail to give an in-depth breakdown of the costs factored in to the asking price of each item. A full cost-breakdown receipt could transform the way customers manage their expenses, facilitating a culture of informed spending incorporating ethical, health, and budget considerations. RFID and Bluetooth Electronic Shelf Labels make providing this transparency possible.
