FOod budgetting app?

Maybe an app for food/household budgetting isn't oldstyle per se, but budgetting and using my resources full is!

Does anyone use an app to track food and household purchases? From time to time I do a bit of a look see to work out where my food £ is going. So September to December it is.

I did this the first time when my dd was in 6th form and she's now 29, and periodically since. I don't have a fixed budget for food, but I do try and get as much as I can for my money. I also like to know from time to time roughly how much I am spending in various categories.

I used to use one but can't remember what it was called.

I use Spending tracker, a free app, and have a 'shopping' account on there: I put my budget in as 'income' and then enter every spend as ' expense'. Because it's on my phone I do it while still in the shop so I don't forget, and I can see exactly where the money has gone and what's left.

I use one on my phone too - I think it is called ‘Spending Tracker’ and it’s by MH Riley. I use the free version, there’s no need to upgrade to the Pro (paid for) one. I have set it up with separate budgets for my weekly food shop and monthly diesel fill up. I find it so useful having it on my phone, and I can add expenditure immediately.

I use a separate tracker for my Christmas shopping as I have found one where you can set individual budgets for each person and it’s in jolly festive colours

I use YNAB (You Need a Budget) which isn't free but I've found is worth it's weight in gold - it's changed our lives!
