Meal planner
Plan the week. We’ll tell you what it costs, and where.
Pick your dinners and every ingredient is pooled into one shopping list, matched to a real product at each supermarket and priced by unit — so the list knows that 600 g of flour on Tuesday and 400 g on Thursday is one bag, and which shop sells it cheapest.
- Step 1
Choose your meals
Drop dinners onto the days you want them. Cooking for six? Every quantity scales.
- Step 2
Get one shopping list
Ingredients pool across recipes, so you buy one bag of rice, not four. Tick off anything you already have.
- Step 3
See where it's cheapest
Every line is priced at each supermarket, with the best unit price — not just the smallest pack.
