Rant: Wasted $150 on a fancy meal planning app that I never used

Back in January I downloaded this meal planning app that promised to save me money on groceries. I paid $150 for the yearly subscription because I thought it would finally get me organized. All it did was give me complicated recipes with weird ingredients I had to hunt down. I ended up spending more money buying things like sumac and harissa that I used once. After two months I went back to my old system of just writing meals on a sticky note. The sticky note method is free and honestly works better for me. Has anyone else dropped cash on a budgeting tool that ended up being a total waste?

Sticky note method has never let me down either.

Wait what? The sticky note method? Like actual physical sticky notes? Honestly I thought everyone had moved on to digital notes or something by now. Ngl I still use a piece of paper and a pen when I really need to remember something important but sticky notes always end up falling off my monitor or getting lost somewhere in my backpack. Tbh that's wild to me but hey if it works it works.
