Audit two years of my grocery receipts and build me a Kroger-vs-Amazon lineup

A homeschooling mom posted on Facebook on Oct 20 that she handed the AI (her agent 'Mira') two years of grocery data — all 140 Kroger orders plus her Amazon history, line by line. Mira found her worst leak (cat treats bought 16 times in nine months, at full price 14 times; the subscription price would have saved about $96 a year) and built a categorized lineup assigning every staple to Kroger or Amazon with prices shown.

$96a year

How it works

  1. Hand the AI 140 Kroger orders and her Amazon history
  2. The AI reads them line by line
  3. Flags the worst leak (cat treats bought 16 times in nine months, 14 at full price, about $96/yr subscription saving missed)
  4. Builds a categorized lineup assigning every staple to Kroger or Amazon with prices
  5. She keeps approval: The AI cannot order or spend without her say-so

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent read two years of receipts line by line and found a $96-a-year leak hiding in cat treats.
