I spent $10k on food last year. What’s good way to track grocery spending? (self.asklemmy)

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

Part of this request seems to be to track prices and quantities for individual items purchased at the grocery store. I doubt you're keeping up with that in your checkbook, but an app might be able to.

Still, I do agree that we're failing kids by not teaching them personal finance skills.
