Grocery Budget Tracker
Plan and track grocery spending with category-wise budgeting.
Groceries are one of the easiest places for spending to drift. This free Grocery Budget Tracker lets you set a monthly food budget and record your shopping against it, so you can see how much you've spent, how much is left, and where the money's going.
How to use it: set your monthly grocery budget, then log each shop with its amount and store. The running total shows how much budget remains, helping you stay on track for the month and spot where you might trim.
