inI spent 3 years clipping coupons with an app and finally did the math, the Sunday paper still wins
Forty-seven offers for $58 works out to about a buck twenty each, and app coupons stack with store sales while paper ones often don't. Feels like you picked a bad app and compared it to one lucky BOGO.

inWarning: my grocery spreadsheet took 6 hours to actually start working
Ugh, the hidden row thing gets me every single time. I check mine now by adding a couple test numbers I know the answer to, like 5 plus 5, and if the total is wrong I know something is off. Also I just scan the whole sheet and look for rows with no data showing, they hide weird. Six hours on a Saturday hurts but at least you caught it, I went like a month once before I noticed mine was double counting.

Learned the hard way that most things work best somewhere in the middle.

inI spent 3 years overlaying maps wrong, a hiking trail in Bend showed me
This reminds me of how my dad hung shelves for years using the bubble level on his phone before he figured out the phone case was messing up the reading. Same kind of thing. You trust the tool without checking the tool itself. I did the same with recipes for a while, never weighing flour, just scooping, and wondering why my cookies always came out flat. Small mistakes stack up quiet until something finally shows you the gap, like that trail did for you.
