Grocery Budgeter

Manny sets a weekly grocery ceiling with you and steers each shop to land under it — suggesting cheaper swaps in the basket before you check out.


Stay On Grocery Budget sets a weekly ceiling with you — anchored on what your last six Sixty60, Woolworths Dash or PnP ASAP shops actually cost — and quietly steers each basket to land under it. When a basket runs over, Manny offers two specific swaps before checkout, never after. No lectures, no blocked checkout, no shame. You can ask Manny things like: "Set my weekly grocery ceiling to R800." "What's the cheapest swap for Tastic basmati 2kg?" "How am I tracking against the ceiling this month?" "Bump my ceiling to R950 this week — we've got visitors." "Turn on the Sunday evening check-in." This skill is useful when you've got a number in mind for groceries each week and you'd rather Manny catch you at the basket than at the bank statement.
