Grocery Spend Optimiser: Scenario Model for Smarter Shopping

Groceries are the bill that quietly creeps. Give it your current spend, store and household size, and this models three strategies: switch to a cheaper shop, swap to own-brands, or plan meals harder. You see the likely saving from each and pick the one you'll actually stick to.

My current monthly grocery spend is {CURRENT_GROCERY_SPEND} for {HOUSEHOLD_SIZE} people. I currently shop primarily at {CURRENT_STORE}. I am willing to consider switching stores, changing brands, or adjusting meal planning frequency. Using a scenario-comparison approach, model three alternative strategies: (A) store switch to a lower-cost retailer, (B) own-brand substitution at my current store, and (C) meal-plan-led shopping with a strict weekly list. For each strategy estimate: monthly saving, time cost, trade-offs in product quality or convenience, and the effort required to implement. Present as a side-by-side comparison table, then give a single best-fit recommendation based on the profile I have described.
