# Ask your agent about groceries

Updated Apr 23, 2026·2 min read

Direct answer: Groceries bleed into multiple merchants (Whole Foods, Instacart, Kroger, farmers' markets) and sometimes show up as general merchandise at Walmart-type stores. Your agent uses list\_transactions filtered by category FOOD\_AND\_DRINK, then optionally slices by delivery vs in-person.

## How the agent answers this

Your agent calls `list_transactions + get_spending_summary`.

Category-filter works well; follow up with a merchant breakdown if you want to see how much went to Instacart specifically.

## Variant prompts

-   > “Group my grocery spending by store this month.”
    
-   > “How much did I spend on Instacart this month?”
    
-   > “Groceries month-over-month for the last 6 months.”
    

## Setup

Sign in at [bankbridge.money](/login), connect your bank, paste the pre-filled snippet into your agent of choice (see [setup guide](/guides/how-to-connect-your-bank-to-claude)), then ask one of the prompts above.
