Groceries are shared. The cost should be too.
Track who bought what, split shared items fairly, and stop pretending everyone eats the same amount. One app, no spreadsheets, no awkward conversations at checkout.
This is for you if...
- ✓You bought groceries for the house again but nobody Venmo'd you back
- ✓Someone eats all the snacks but never does the shopping
- ✓You meal prep together but have no idea how to split the receipt
- ✓You want to share food costs without becoming everyone's accountant
Good food costs money. The system for splitting it shouldn't cost your sanity.
Built for everyday expense sharing
Are We Even helps people keep shared finances simple — whether it's roommates splitting groceries, friends on a group trip, or families sharing household costs.
No receipt itemization required.
Just log it and split it.
Why grocery splitting gets messy
Shared and personal items on the same receipt
Milk for the house, protein bars just for you. One receipt, two categories, and no easy way to separate them.
Someone always does the shopping
The person who consistently runs to the store ends up fronting costs and chasing reimbursement.
Small trips add up
A quick $15 run to the store doesn't feel worth a Venmo request. But four of those a week adds up to $240 a month.
Different diets, different costs
One person eats organic. Another lives on rice and beans. Splitting everything equally feels unfair to both sides.
Track grocery runs, split them fairly
Are We Even tracks every grocery trip across your household. Log the total, mark shared items, and let the running balance handle the rest. No itemizing every receipt. No passive-aggressive notes on the fridge. Just a fair system.
- Running balance across all grocery trips
- Quick-add expenses from your phone
- Flexible splits for mixed receipts
How it works
Create a household group
Add everyone who shares food costs. They join via a link — no download needed.
Log each grocery run
Bought groceries? Add the amount and choose how to split it. Takes 10 seconds.
Separate shared from personal
Mark the whole trip as shared, or adjust the split when someone bought personal items too.
Settle up weekly or monthly
One payment covers all the small trips. No more nickel-and-diming over $12 runs.
Everything organized in one place
See every grocery run, who paid, and the current balance — without digging through Venmo history or receipt drawers.
Features
Quick expense logging
Add a grocery run in seconds. Amount, split, done. No receipt scanning required (though it's available if you want it).
Rotating shopper tracking
When everyone takes turns, the balance naturally evens out. The app tracks it so nobody has to.
Running balance
Small trips accumulate. Settle up once instead of sending a Venmo request every time someone buys milk.
Receipt scanning
Snap a photo of the receipt for your records. The app pulls the total automatically.
Common grocery expenses people track
Why roommates move beyond the honor system
| Method | The Problem |
|---|---|
| "We'll take turns" | uneven spending, no accountability |
| Venmo per trip | too many small requests |
| Shared credit card | only works for couples |
| Fridge notes | passive-aggressive and ignored |
| Are We Even | running balance, flexible splits, one settlement |
You don't need to itemize every receipt
Just log the total and split it. If someone bought personal items on the same trip, adjust the split. It takes ten seconds and saves five arguments. Perfect tracking isn't the goal. Fair enough is.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need to scan every receipt?
- No. Just log the total amount. Receipt scanning is optional — useful for records, not required for splitting.
- What if someone buys personal items on a shared trip?
- Adjust the split for that expense. Exclude yourself from $10 of a $60 trip, and the rest splits evenly.
- Can we take turns shopping without tracking each trip?
- You can, but the balance might drift. Logging each trip takes 10 seconds and keeps things honest.
Shared groceries, shared costs, zero drama.
Track every trip. Split it fairly. Move on with your day.
