The Pantry

The heart of the app. Each deal card is a complete "matchup" showing the whole path from shelf price to what you actually pay.

• Location bar: Enter a city or county and pick a state. Serious couponers drive a whole region in a day, so The Pantry shows every store worth the trip — not just your nearest one.
• Store chips: Filter to a single store, or view all. Only stores that actually operate in your area appear.
• Sale dates & status: Every deal shows its valid window (e.g. "Valid 7/19–8/1") with a live badge — Active, Ends soon, Ends today, or Starts 7/29.
• Sort by: Ending soonest, biggest savings, lowest final price, or store.
• The stack: Shelf price → sale price → each coupon (manufacturer, store, digital) → store reward → final price and % off.

Coupon stacking is a skill — knowing which manufacturer coupon, store coupon, digital offer and reward can legally combine on one item. The Auto-Stack Engine does it for you.

Pick any product and it lays out the cheapest legal combination step by step: start at the shelf price, buy on sale, clip from the right insert, add the store eCoupon, earn the reward — ending at your final out-of-pocket price and total savings. Then clip the coupons or add it to your list right from the panel.

• Items automatically group into per-store "runs" — your route for the day.
• Check items off as you shop; the list dims completed items.
• The Trip Summary shows shelf total, total coupons & rewards, your out-of-pocket cost, and the percentage of your bill wiped out.
• A "See your insert clip-list" button jumps straight to the inserts you need.

Every coupon you clip lands here, linked to your loyalty cards and ready to auto-apply at checkout. Filter by store card, and watch the expiration tags — coupons expiring soon are flagged in red so nothing goes to waste.

The Pantry knows which real newspaper insert each paper coupon lives in and turns your list into a clip-list.

• Grouped by insert: SmartSource (SS), RetailMeNot (RMN, formerly RedPlum), and P&G brandSaver (PG), each with its edition and date — Sunday or Wednesday.
• "Pull these inserts" banner: the at-a-glance answer to which papers to buy this week.
• "Where to find it" notes: e.g. the P&G brandSaver only drops on the last Sunday of the month; a midweek SmartSource appears in some markets on Wednesdays.
• "No clipping required" section: store eCoupons, digital coupons, printables and rebate-app offers are listed separately so you don't hunt for them in a newspaper.
• Toggle between "From my list" and "All local deals."

Rebate-app offers (Ibotta-style) that stack on top of your coupon savings. Buy the item, scan your receipt, and the cash back accrues to your pending balance until you cash out to your bank or PayPal.

The feature the app is named for. Track what you've stocked up on at rock-bottom prices. Each item shows quantity vs. your target level, and The Pantry flags what's running low so you rebuy only when it hits a stack-worthy deal — never at full price. Filter by "Running low" or "Well stocked," and adjust quantities with the +/− controls.

See the money you've captured: total saved this month, what you actually paid vs. what it would have cost, your average savings rate, and coupons stacked. The weekly chart breaks each trip's savings into coupons, store rewards, and cash-back rebates.

The difference between saving money and building it. Instead of quietly respending your coupon savings, route them into goal accounts and watch them compound.

• Category mix: Your savings are split by category — Baby & toddler, Groceries, Personal care, and more.
• Route each category to a goal: baby savings → a college fund, groceries → a vacation, personal care → a rainy-day/first-car fund. Reassign any category with a dropdown.
• Choose the account & horizon: High-Yield Savings, Money Market, CD, 529 College Plan, Index Fund, or Custodial account — each with a stated rate — and a time horizon up to 18 years.
• See the projection: what you put in vs. the compound growth on top. The classic example: diaper & formula savings routed into a 529 for 18 years can grow into tens of thousands — enough to help with tuition or a first car.
• Save / print report: generates a clean, dated one-page report of your plan.

Many extreme couponers resell their scored stock — buying deeply discounted items and selling them near retail. The Resale Ledger keeps a clean record for tax time.

• Log each item: name, quantity, your unit cost (out-of-pocket after coupons), resale price, and date sold.
• Auto-tally: revenue, cost basis (COGS), net profit, and margin update live as you type.
• Import my list: pull items straight from your shopping list — your final price becomes the cost basis and the shelf price is suggested as a resale anchor (edit as needed).
• Export CSV for your spreadsheet or accountant, or Print a dated income report.
