A 20% reduction sounds aggressive. In practice it's the predictable result of five small audits applied to one week's shopping.

The five audits

1) Audit waste — which items hit the trash? 2) Audit duplicates — what's already in the pantry? 3) Audit brands — where can store-brand substitute? 4) Audit packaging — where are you paying for convenience? 5) Audit impulse — what wasn't on the list?

Lock the savings in

Once you've done the audit once, the new habits stick. MealWise tracks weekly cost so the savings stay visible week over week.
