A small product for the weekly shop.
PrePicked is a free Chrome extension that builds a full themed grocery cart on your store's real website in one tap. No account. No chatbot. No subscription. Here is what it is, who it is for, and why we are building it the way we are.
Online grocery shopping — the thing that was supposed to save us time — somehow still takes forty-five minutes. Search for pasta. Scroll. Add. Search for sauce. Filter by brand. Add. Realize you forgot bread. Repeat, eighteen items deep, twice a week, for the rest of your life. The carts get built line by line, click by click, every single time.
We thought someone should fix that. Not with another meal-kit subscription, not with a recipe-to-cart tool that works on some grocery chains but not yours, not with a chatbot that needs a long conversation before it does anything useful. Just a small, honest tool that turns a theme — Taco Tuesday for four, Healthy reset on fifty dollars, Whatever the kids will actually eat — into a complete cart on your grocery store's real website, in a single tap.
"The price you see is the price you pay. The account is yours. The cart is yours. We just fill it."
§ What PrePicked is
A free Chrome extension. Nothing more.
PrePicked is a browser extension. You install it, you tell it a theme and a budget, and it populates your cart directly on Walmart, Kroger, Target, Sam's Club, or wherever you already shop. You review. You check out. You pay the retailer like normal. We never handle your money. We never ask for your credit card. We never create an account for you.
§ Who it is for
People who would like the time back.
Busy parents who would rather be doing anything else at 9 p.m. on a Sunday. Couch shoppers who want the order done before the next episode. Meal-planners who hate meal-planning. People on a tight budget who want a cart that respects the budget. People on a generous budget who want a cart that stocks the pantry without them thinking about it. Anyone who has ever stared at a grocery site and wished the thing would just build itself.
§ How we stay free
Retailer affiliate commissions. That's it.
PrePicked is free. It will always be free. We pay for the servers and the sandwiches with commissions that retailers pay us when you buy groceries through our extension. You pay the same price you would pay without us. The affiliate model is the oldest web business model there is; we disclose it fully on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
§ The long view
A community of carts.
The long-term vision for PrePicked is a small community where users share the carts they have built — the $42 taco night for four, the $98 week of dinners that doesn't repeat, the $26 game-night haul — and earn a small cut when other people check out with their carts. A tiny economy of good ideas about groceries, surfaced to people who would benefit from them.
We are not there yet. We are pre-launch. We are building in public. We publish drops on four channels — see contact — and we read every email we get. If you have thoughts about what PrePicked should do next, we actually want them.
§ Where we are
Issue 001, spring 2026.
The extension is in pre-launch, polishing the Walmart integration first and queueing Kroger, Target, and Sam's Club close behind. The website you are reading now is the first issue of what we call the Grocery Circular — our occasional dispatch on what we are building, what is working, and what is breaking. Subscribe, or do not. Either way, we are glad you stopped by.
