Cons
Requires surrendering an email address and zip code to access the app.
Even with the built-in short cuts, setting up the initial Foodfully inventory requires a bit of time up front to get the best outcomes.
Recipes are sourced and linked to food bloggers and may or may not be tested or reliable and will likely vary in quality.
Bottom Line
Best used with loyalty cards or by scanning your receipts to avoid manual entry, Foodfully offers a convenient way to keep your food inventory at your fingertips!
