ShopBud combines a grocery checklist with a running estimate of what a shopping trip will cost. Add items by typing, speaking, or scanning a shelf label, then see the estimated total, spending so far, and remaining budget as products are checked off. A receipt scanner can recognize products, quantities, prices, tax, and discounts to reduce manual entry after checkout. Lists can be grouped by aisle, shared with a household, and reviewed by category, item, or trip; personal recipes can also be added. The US App Store lists a free download, but the description does not specify paid limits or account and sync requirements. Barcode and receipt recognition can misread labels or totals, so check values before relying on the budget summary. ShopBud is a shopping planner, not a price-comparison service across retailers.
