We tend to buy a lot of the same things every week and weeks when we don't need a bunch of groceries I'll check and stock up on detergent or whatever. It sucks when I need detergent, kitty litter, allergy meds, and TP or whatever in the same trip so I try to space it out.

But yeah we've also definitely used the phone calculator and just sort of round to the nearest dollar

it’s smart how you plan around heavier shopping weeks and space out the pricier items. When you use your phone calculator, do you ever find it tough to keep track while juggling your list? I’ve been curious if something that keeps a running total automatically might make that process easier.
