About this app
Feeding your people shouldn't cost you your evening. Or your budget.
Someone in your home answers "what's for dinner?" about a thousand times a year — on a budget, for other people, forever. Meal Hack exists to take that off you.
It decides the week, prices it across the shops you already use, and hands you the list. You don't have to set anything up first.
THE WEEK, DECIDED
A full week of real dinners, built around your diet, your household and what you actually like. Don't fancy something? Swap it, and the plan keeps up.
BUILT AROUND THIS WEEK'S SPECIALS
Before the plan is written, we look at what's actually on special at your shop that week and build the meals around it — so the saving is in the food you're already going to cook.
WHERE TO SHOP, SETTLED
Your whole basket is priced across major South African supermarkets before you leave the house — so you know where it's cheaper this week, and by how much. Not the cheapest shelf price. The cheapest real basket, pack sizes and all.
REWARDS CLAIMED WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THEM
This week's specials and your store loyalty rewards are counted into the total for you. If there's a rand on the table, it's already in the number you're looking at.
A LIST THAT IS ALREADY A BASKET
Your list arrives sorted by aisle, with real products at real prices. Ingredients are combined across every recipe, so you buy one bag of tomatoes instead of five — and we tell you what's spare for next week.
TONIGHT, HANDLED
Every meal comes with a full recipe, timings and portions for your household. Want it lower carb, quicker to cook, or higher in protein? Swap the variant and carry on.
DINNER FROM WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE
Photograph the fridge or the pantry shelf, or just describe what's in there, and get a real recipe that uses it.
WHEN THE NEWS IS BAD, WE SAY SO
If something isn't stocked at your shop, or a price is a few days old, we tell you plainly instead of quietly leaving it out. A number you can't check isn't worth having.
MADE FOR SOUTH AFRICAN KITCHENS
Real prices in rands, from the shops you already use. Ingredients, pack sizes and meals that match how people here actually cook and eat.
FREE
Meal Hack is free. If eating well shouldn't be a luxury of money, charging you to see what your food costs would be an odd way to prove it.
YOUR DATA
Your meal history and preferences stay yours. The camera is used only when you choose to photograph ingredients.
Not affiliated with or endorsed by any retailer. Prices are sourced from publicly available information, are indicative, and may differ in store.

Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
What’s new
This week's specials now shape the plan itself, we build the meals around what's actually on deal, and tell you which ones got in.
Shops and rewards programmes appear by name throughout, so it's always clear which shop a price belongs to and what's paying you back.
Plans follow your dietary preferences more closely, and confirming a fridge photo is quicker.
Plus a batch of smaller fixes and polish.
