My grocery bill is steadily climbing and I am not sure what to do. I make too much for SNAP. Any tips or tricks? It's just me in my household, so would buying in bulk be worth it?
Edit: I want to thank everyone for their responses. I have a lot to think about.
OurGroceries (app for both iOS and Android) and a partner. It's an app that syncs in real time and does that very well. So what you do is, you make a list, you both have the app, signed into the same account. If one person pays $20 (used to be $5 per person but I guess they gotta eat too) everyone gets the ads removed. Be aware that the ads can add to the list, and reviewers have pointed out that it can happen automatically.
Anyway, you both go to different stores, and use anything from AirPods to plain old wired earbuds to keep the conversation going while you have the app open. You both navigate the store to each item on the list, and you call out the price. Whoever says the cheaper price puts it in their cart. The more roommates/participants you have, the more stores you can hit, the more you can save (assuming all three people are buying food — if one person is always shut out because their store was more expensive, that person's time was wasted, and you should not return to that store).
