When Mateo and his two roommates moved in together, they agreed to split grocery costs evenly, but tracking who paid for what quickly became confusing. After a month of forgotten receipts and awkward reminders, they started using a shared spreadsheet where each person logs their purchases and the total is divided three ways at the end of the month. Anyone who spends more than their share that month is paid back by the other two before the next grocery run. They also agreed that personal snacks or items only one roommate wants, such as a specific brand of coffee, are paid for separately and not added to the shared total. Mateo says the spreadsheet took some getting used to, but it has stopped arguments about who owes whom, since everyone can see the numbers at any time.
