Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Your PDF guide has a link that makes your own Google Sheets copy in one click, with no upload needed. It works on your phone at the store too.

Do I have to know the exact cost of every meal?

No. A rough cost per serving is enough. The spreadsheet multiplies it by the number of people you shop for, and your receipts on the Spending tab show what you really spent.

Is it a download or a subscription?

A one-time download. You pay once and keep the files.
