How it works
Receipt to price history in four steps
The scanner does the repetitive entry. You stay in control of what becomes part of your shopping history.
- 01
Photograph the receipt
Use the camera or choose a receipt image you already took.
- 02
Review every line
Check the extracted items, prices, quantities, store, date, and total.
- 03
Fix anything unusual
Edit a row or deselect a code, discount, or line you do not want to keep.
- 04
Save the completed trip
The trip updates your insights, store history, and remembered prices.
Review before save
Receipt paper is messy. Your history does not have to be.
Grocery receipts use abbreviations, store codes, discounts, and faded thermal print. That is why GroceryBudget shows the extracted trip before saving it.
- Edit an item name, price, quantity, or category.
- Deselect codes or rows that are not grocery items.
- Compare extracted items with the printed receipt total.
- Confirm the store and date before the trip enters your history.

For the cleanest receipt scan

- Use even light so faded thermal print stays readable.
- Hold steady and review unusual abbreviations before saving.
- AI extraction needs an internet connection while it reads the receipt.
Designed for grocery receipts rather than business-expense accounting. You can correct any item before saving.
