Two market trips a week instead of five, nothing forgotten

Illustrative example โ a written scenario showing how the tool is used, not a real customer testimonial.
Before
Kavitha shopped for a mess serving sixty people from memory and scraps of paper. She forgot something every trip, went back the same evening, and bought duplicates of things already in store.
What they logged
- Separate lists โ vegetables, provisions, dairy, cleaning
- Items ticked off in the market as she bought them
- Quantities against each item, learned from real usage
The moment it clicked
The duplicates were the surprise. Because nothing was written down she was rebuying oil and dhal that were already sitting at the back of the store.
What changed
| Measure | Before | After 8 months | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Market trips / week | 4โ5 | โ | 2 |
| Forgotten items / trip | 3โ4 | โ | rarely any |
| Monthly provisions spend | โน31,000 | โ | โน26,500 |
How they keep track now
She rebuilds each list from last weekโs ticked items, so the list gets more accurate every week instead of starting from zero.
โI was not overspending on price. I was overspending on things I already owned.โ โ Kavitha Murugan, Dindigul
