MealBudget is a meal planner that starts with your budget. Pick the meals you actually want to eat this week, and it builds one grocery list that reuses ingredients across them, so the half bunch of cilantro you buy on Monday gets finished on Thursday instead of going soft in the fridge.
HOW THE MEAL PLANNER WORKS
Tell it who is eating and what you want to spend. Pick a few favorite recipes, or skip straight ahead and let it choose meals that share ingredients. You get the week and the one shopping list that buys it, with the quantity and package size on every line so you know whether to reach for the 15 oz can or the big one.
WHAT YOU GET
Real quantities. Every line of the grocery list says how many packages to buy and how big, because that is the part you need standing in the aisle.
Ingredients that get used. Meals are chosen so packages get finished across several dinners rather than one, which is where the savings come from. Less food waste, a smaller grocery bill.
A total before you go. You see roughly what the week of groceries comes to, and what is left of your food budget, before you leave the house.
Your weekly menus, saved. Open last week's shopping list in the shop, or plan a new one.
Recipes from everywhere. Twenty-three cuisines, from Thai to Cajun to Filipino, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free meal plans all supported.
