How ThriftyFit Works

Tell us what you're in the mood for — like "a high-protein dinner under 600 calories" — and we'll create a healthy recipe just for you. Each recipe comes with step-by-step instructions, nutrition facts, and a grocery cost estimate so you know what it'll cost before you shop. You can save your favorite recipes, print them, or share them with friends.

Answer a few simple questions about yourself — your age, height, what equipment you have, how much time you can spare, and how you're feeling today — and we'll build a personalized exercise plan you can do twice a day. The plan adjusts to your mood: a full workout when you feel great, a lighter one when you're a bit tired, and gentle stretching or rest when you're under the weather. You can even listen to audio coaching and print your plan. Right after your plan, you'll also get a weekly diet recipe plan tailored to your fitness goal.

Once you've generated your exercise plan, a weekly diet recipe plan appears below it — built to match your fitness goal and the way you're feeling. Tap the common food allergy chips (like peanuts, dairy, eggs, or shellfish) to quickly flag foods to avoid, or type in your own dietary restrictions (like vegetarian, gluten-free, or low-sodium) and we'll work around them. You'll get a full week of meals — one day at a time — with nutrition breakdowns, a grocery list, and a cost estimate. Enter your zip code and we'll price that grocery list at every nearby store and show you the one with the lowest total, so you know exactly where to shop for your diet.

On the Recommended Diet grocery list, type in your zip code and tap "Find best local prices." Behind the scenes we check the stores near you, price out your whole list at each one, and then display the prices from the store with the lowest total — complete with a badge showing which store won. It's the fastest way to see where your healthy groceries will cost you the least.

Enter your address or zip code and we'll find the grocery stores near you. Add the items you want to buy, and we'll show you which store has the lowest total for your whole list — so you know exactly where to shop to save the most money. Prices come from real shoppers in your community and from store websites, and we always show you the best deal at a glance. To keep the comparison fair, each store's total only includes items that have prices at every store — so a store can't look cheaper just because it's missing a few items. You'll see how many items are in the comparison next to each total, and any items not found at a particular store are still listed individually so you can add a price if you know it.

On the Compare page, your list lives in the panel on the left. Type items in one at a time, or upload an Excel or Word file and we'll read it for you. You can also start from a ready-made reference list and tweak it. Your list is saved automatically, so it'll be waiting for you next time you come back.

Save as many grocery lists as you like — maybe one for weekly groceries and another for a holiday dinner. You can load any saved list with one click, and share a list with family or friends by sending them a link. When they open it, they'll see the same items and can run their own price comparison.

Want to know when something drops in price? Tap the little bell icon next to any item on your grocery list and set a target price. We'll keep an eye on it and let you know when it hits the price you want.

Prices you see are a mix of store websites and prices submitted by other shoppers in your area. If you spot a price at your local store, you can add it to help everyone else save money too. Just look for the "Add a price" option next to any item. Always double-check prices at the store, since they can change.

Every member gets a personal referral link based on their name — for example, yourapp.com/YourName. Find it on your Account page under "Your Referral Link" and tap Copy to share it by text, email, or social media. When someone opens your link, they'll see a welcome page with your name and a sign-up button. The moment they create an account, they're added to your network as your direct referral. You can see your entire downline — every member and who referred them — in the Admin → Network tab.
