Remember when grocery shopping felt like a guessing game?

I used to just grab stuff and hope the total was okay, maybe $150 a trip with no real plan. About two years ago, I started using a simple app to plan meals and list what we actually need. Now I spend around $90 each week and we waste way less food. The change came after a month where our budget was really tight and we had to make every dollar count. It's not fancy, but seeing the numbers add up feels like a real win. Anyone else switch from just winging it to planning meals to save money?

Try planning for two weeks at once to cut down on shopping trips too.

That only works if you have a ton of freezer space, though.
