If your money doesn't feel like it goes as far anymore, you're not imagining it.
Since 2019, Australian grocery prices have risen almost twice as fast as wages. The gap is real, and it's growing. That's why we built Docket Rocket.

What this means for your family
The average Australian household spent around $180 per week on groceries in 2019. That same basket of food now costs over $235. Meanwhile, wages have barely kept pace with half that increase.
That's not a budgeting failure — it's a structural squeeze. You're working just as hard, but your trolley is getting lighter.
How Docket Rocket helps
We can't fix the economy, but we can help you fight back at the checkout. Docket Rocket gives you the tools to close the gap:
- Compare prices across Woolworths, Coles, ALDI and more — before you shop
- Scan your receipts to track what you're actually paying
- See price trends so you know when to stock up or switch brands
- Build smarter shopping lists based on real prices, not catalogue promises
