Last year I realized I was spending over $1,200 every month on groceries without knowing where my money was going. After tracking my spending, I reduced it to around $500 per month. That experience inspired me to build CartBudget. It helps you create shopping lists, set weekly or monthly budgets, track your spending as you shop, and review monthly spending reports so you can make smarter decisions and save money over time.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Barry, the founder of CartBudget.
Last year I noticed I was spending over $1,200 every month on groceries, but I had no idea where my money was actually going.
Once I started tracking my spending, I reduced my grocery bill to around $500 per month. That experience inspired me to build CartBudget.
Instead of only creating shopping lists, I wanted an app that could help people understand their grocery spending, stay within a weekly or monthly budget, and make smarter shopping decisions over time.
Some of my favorite features are:
• Live budget tracking while you shop
• Monthly spending reports
• Savings insights
• Shopping lists with built-in budgeting
I'd genuinely love your feedback.
What feature would help you save more money on groceries?
I'll be here throughout the day answering every question and would really appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks for checking out CartBudget! 🙌

Honestly love the personal story behind this, feels really relatable. One thing I'd love to see is a price history feature for stuff I buy regularly, so I can actually tell if I'm getting a deal or just paying more at a different store. That'd make the budget tracking way more useful in my opinion.
Caught the monthly breakdown view right after checkout and it actually showed me where I was bleeding cash on snacks. The budget alerts are straightforward and don't bug you mid-shopping trip like other apps I've tried.
