ORIGIN LOG
Why it exists.
Penny Pillager began as a practical search tool and grew into a larger goal: make bargain hunting broad enough to be useful without pretending unreliable retailer data is certain.
Its V2 work separates clear user-facing progress from provider complexity, while automatic nearby-store discovery and modular retailer coverage form the next frontier.
