Hope I used the right flair. Finances have become much tighter recently and I’ve never been good at budgeting. I’m wondering if there is an app that can help with tracking that sort of thing as well as figuring out what my spending limit should be in each department. It would be especially nice if the app is free, which I feel may be obvious, and includes budgeting for non-food items such at ziploc bags, tp, etc.
Are there any good apps that help you track and budget grocery spending?

I completely understand that feeling. Most people struggle with budgeting not because they aren’t ‘good at it,’ but because many apps are either too complex or too restrictive for real-life spending.
If you want something free and flexible, skip the flashy apps and go back to a clean, visual Excel or Google Sheets setup. You can customize the departments (like groceries vs. non-food items) exactly how you want.
Sometimes just seeing your spending limits update visually in real-time is the ”click” your brain needs to stay on track. You’ve got this! (;🏛️📊
