Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I built SpendScan because I kept asking myself the same question every month: "Where the heck does my grocery budget go?!" 🤔

Like many of you, I was tired of that monthly shock at the checkout. With food prices climbing faster than a cat chasing a laser pointer (seriously, have you seen the price of avocados lately? 😅), I needed a way to understand my spending patterns.

What started as a simple receipt scanner to track my grocery budget turned into something much more interesting. Once I could analyse the item-level data, I discovered I could help people understand:

Their actual spending patterns (those "quick grocery runs" add up!)
Environmental impact of food choices (your "carbon foodprint")
Seasonal and local buying habits (and save money by shopping in-season)

I'd love for you to try it out! Uploading receipts is completely free - just snap a photo of your receipt and see what insights you discover. Creating an account is also free if you want to track your spending over time. For those who want unlimited receipt uploads and advanced analytics, we have a pro plan available.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! 🙌

P.S. Works with receipts from any supermarket in any country, and you can even use digital receipts from store apps if you prefer to go paperless! 📱
