Food waste tracker
See what food waste actually costs you
Ripn tracks the groceries you bought, the price you paid, and whether each item was used or thrown away. That turns food waste into a number you can actually see.
Free to start
Example food waste total
$0.00
Because Ripn knows what each grocery item cost, marking food as used or thrown away builds a dollar total of your waste.
How it works
Food waste tracking starts with the receipt
01
Scan what you bought
Ripn reads the grocery receipt and keeps the item together with the price you paid.
02
See what may need attention
Groceries are sorted by what may expire first so you can decide what to use next.
03
Mark used or thrown away
When an item passes its expected date, tell Ripn whether you used it or threw it away.
Expiry tracking
See what may expire first
Ripn estimates how long groceries have left and sorts them by what may need attention first. That gives you a simple place to check before deciding what to cook or use next.
Waste in dollars
A percentage is useful. A dollar amount is harder to ignore.
Ripn can show the dollar value of what was thrown away because the original price came from the receipt. You can see what you spent and how much of that spending never got used.
The full picture
Track what you spend and what you actually use
Food waste makes more sense when it is connected to grocery spending. Ripn keeps both together so you can see where your money went and what part of it ended up wasted.
