I finally fixed the grocery split problem with a shared running tab
Me and my two roommates kept fighting over who bought what for the shared fridge. Last week I started a simple Google Sheet that tracks every purchase over $5, and we settled up on Sunday. We owed each other like $47 total after three weeks of chaos, and nobody felt ripped off for once. The key was adding a photo of the receipt so nobody claimed they forgot what they got. Does anyone else use a running tab, or do you just split everything down the middle and deal with it?

Did you set a rule for what happens when someone grabs something without logging it? That's usually where these things fall apart for me, someone eats the last of something and it never makes the sheet. We tried a tab once but ditched it after a week because tracking every little thing got exhausting. The receipt photo is smart though, that alone probably cuts 80 percent of the arguments.
