About Vicks

Vicks is one of the world's most trusted cold and flu remedy brands, with origins dating back to 1891 when North Carolina pharmacist Lunsford Richardson created a menthol salve to help his young son suffering from severe croup. Named after his brother-in-law Dr. Joshua Vick, the product was originally called "Vick's Magic Croup Salve" before being rebranded as VapoRub in 1912. The brand's breakthrough came during the devastating 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, when sales exploded from $900,000 to $2.9 million in a single year. Tragically, founder Lunsford Richardson succumbed to the very illness his product helped relieve, dying from Spanish Flu in 1919 just as VapoRub achieved its first major commercial peak. His son H. Smith Richardson continued building the company. In 1985, Procter & Gamble acquired Vicks as a "white knight" to prevent a hostile takeover by Unilever. Today, Vicks remains a household name trusted by families worldwide for over 125 years. The product range has expanded far beyond the original VapoRub to include NyQuil, DayQuil, Formula 44 cough medicines, nasal sprays, and inhalers. UK supermarkets stock the comprehensive Vicks range including VapoRub in traditional jar and easy-apply twist formats, Sinex Soother and Micromist decongestant nasal sprays, First Defence nasal spray, Vicks Inhaler nasal sticks, and throat lozenges. Compare prices at Ocado and Asda.

FAQs

Grocefully is a smart grocery shopping app that automatically compares prices across all major UK supermarkets (Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, etc.) and helps you buy from the cheapest stores. We handle the complexity of split orders so you save money without any extra effort.

Our users save an average of 25-30% on their total grocery bill. For a typical £100 weekly shop, that's £20-25 in savings even after our 5% service fee. The exact amount depends on your shopping habits and the products you buy.

We currently support Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Waitrose, and Iceland. We're constantly adding new stores and will notify you when more become available.

Grocefully is available wherever the supported supermarkets deliver. Simply enter your postcode when you sign up to check availability in your area.

Our AI scans real-time prices from all supported supermarkets every time you shop. It finds exact matches or suitable alternatives for each item on your list, then automatically selects the cheapest option while considering delivery fees and minimum order requirements.

You can set brand preferences for any item. If you prefer specific brands, Grocefully will only compare prices for those brands. You can also allow substitutions for some items while keeping others fixed.

Grocefully shows you available delivery slots from each store and helps coordinate them. We optimize to get you the most convenient delivery times while maintaining the best prices.

Yes! You can link your loyalty cards from each supermarket and continue earning points on all your purchases. We'll automatically apply any available discounts.

We charge a simple 5% service fee on your total order value. For example, if your groceries cost £100, you'll pay £5 as a service fee. This covers our costs for finding you the best prices, handling multiple orders, and providing customer support.

Our users save an average of 25-30% per shop. Even after the 5% service fee, you're still saving 20-25% on average. For a £100 shop, you'd save £25-30 and pay £5 in fees, netting you £20-25 in savings!

The service fee is automatically calculated and shown before you complete your order. It's added to your total, so you only make one payment. No hidden charges or surprises.

Yes! Grocefully is completely free to download and use. You only pay the 5% service fee when you place an order. Browse, compare prices, and create shopping lists as much as you want without any charges.

No hidden fees! You pay the grocery prices (same as shopping directly), the stores' delivery fees (if any), and our 5% service fee. That's it. We believe in complete transparency.

If you're not happy with your savings, contact our support team. We'll review your order and if we didn't save you money (after accounting for our fee), we'll refund the service fee. Your satisfaction is our priority.

Yes, you can modify orders up until the supermarket's cut-off time (usually a few hours before delivery). Any changes are automatically synced across all your orders.

If an item is out of stock, we'll automatically find the next cheapest option from another store or suggest a suitable replacement. You can set preferences for how you want us to handle substitutions.

Refunds are processed according to each supermarket's policy. If you're not satisfied with your savings, contact our support team - we offer a money-back guarantee on our service fee.

Our customer support team is here to help resolve any issues. We work directly with the supermarkets to ensure quick resolution of any problems.
