I don't use an app, but this was a good way to do it. I have just cut back and buy less and less but still pay more and more. What really gets you now are non-food items - cleaners, paper products, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. All are $10-$20, easy. You really have to look hard for a decent price.
Hubby got his first increase since 1/2023. It was...$0.80. He had capped back in 2023, but things are waaay different.
It was really insulting TBH - this isn't 1956. You couldn't up it to a buck? Seriously? The sad thing is we need it, but CPI in the same time frame has increased almost 8% and that doesn't take into account food/energy. Considering the taxes that are taken out, he basically was given an egg an hour.
Count yourself lucky if you still get yearly raises
