How ThriftyFit Works

ThriftyFit helps you eat well, stay active, and spend less on groceries. This guide walks you through everything you can do — no experience needed.

Getting started in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Pick a tab at the top of the home page: Shop My Budget (the one that opens first), Build My Meal Recipe, Keep Fit, or Compare Nearby Prices.

  2. 2

    Answer a few simple questions or type in what you need — that's all we ask.

  3. 3

    Get your budget basket, recipe, exercise plan, or price comparison instantly — then save, print, or share it.

Use ThriftyFit more effectively

Five small habits that make every feature work harder for you.

  • 1

    Set your Keep Fit profile once — your fitness goal then shapes your recipes and diet plans.

  • 2

    Start with Shop My Budget: it builds a full basket that fits what you can spend.

  • 3

    Save your usual weekly list, then reload it in one tap each week.

  • 4

    Add your zip code when you want local prices — local results are faster and more accurate.

  • 5

    Set price alerts on the few items you buy most, not on everything.

External links & connected services

A short guide to the outside services ThriftyFit uses, and what happens to your data in each.

Store websites & map data

Store names, addresses, and reference prices come from retailer websites and open map data. We look them up for you; you never log in to a store through ThriftyFit. Prices are references only, so always confirm at the shelf.

YouTube

Workout videos in Keep Fit play from YouTube, and Music for the Mind opens our channel in a new tab. Both need internet and follow YouTube's privacy policy.

Partner promotions

Some banners link to partner apps, like the travel agency and FundMyFutureToday. They open in a new tab under their own terms and privacy policy, and no ThriftyFit data is shared with them.
