So I’m just one dude and 10k a year just on food seems incredibly high. I don’t go out that often, ~$1600 was at restaurants. I’m not really sure what I’m doing wrong while shopping at grocery stores and want to track grocery purchases better. The store I typically go to doesn’t have online receipts to use.

I’m wondering what kind of apps are available for tracking grocery expenditures that Lemmings would recommend? It would be nice to be able to go back and check prices/sizes of things too, so what is being shrinkflated/skimpflated

    I track all my expenditures with You Need A Budget. If you’re in college, you can get a year free.

    Dave Ramsey has his version, EveryDollar. I’ve never used it, but…it’s the same concept.

    If you’re just wanting to track grocery expenditures and have that detail of checking historical prices, you might try an AI like ChatGPT to turn a pic of your paper receipt into a spreadsheet, then copy and paste it into Google Sheets.

      I’d recommend an alternative to ynab such as Actual Budget or one of the others mentioned in this thread. YNAB is great software but the subscription price of it is getting ridiculous.
