Does anyone else feel like they’re failing at grocery budgeting lately?

I’ve been looking at my bank statements lately, and the amount I’m spending on basic essentials is honestly getting a bit scary. I used to be able to just walk into a store and grab what I needed, but now I feel like I have to spend an hour pre-gaming with apps and circulars just to break even.

I’ve started trying out a few different aggregators to see if I can automate the process a bit. One that’s been surprisingly decent is PromoCodie. I stumbled onto it while looking for a specific household discount, and it actually pulled up a working code for a site I thought never did promos. It’s definitely saved me a bit of a headache this week. That said, I’m still looking for more ways to stack savings. Does anyone have a specific "stacking" strategy they swear by, or are we all just rotating through different browser extensions and hoping for the best? I’d love to hear how you guys are managing the price hikes lately.
