Meal Planner
The "what's for dinner?" question costs you more than you think — decision fatigue, impulse grocery runs, expensive takeout, and wasted food. Meal Planner generates a full week of meals tailored to your household's size, dietary needs, skill level, and budget. It reuses ingredients across meals to minimize waste and gives you a sorted grocery list you can take straight to the store or send to Instacart.
What It Does
- Creates a personalized weekly meal plan with recipes matched to your family size, dietary needs, and cooking skill
- Generates a consolidated, aisle-sorted grocery list that reuses ingredients across meals to save money and reduce waste
- Adapts to what you already have in your fridge so you buy less and throw away less
How It Works
- Tell the planner about your household — how many people, any dietary restrictions, and how much time you want to spend cooking.
- Optionally list what you already have in your fridge or pantry.
- Every Sunday (or whenever you choose), get a complete meal plan and grocery list for the week.
Works With
- Instacart, Amazon Fresh
