Weekly Meal & Grocery Ledger · Saved Locally
Cook a full week around what groceries actually cost at checkout.
Most meal planners divide a pinch of cumin into imaginary pennies. Plan my Meals prices whole store packages, pairs recipes that share ingredients, and filters strictly to the appliances on your counter.

Toggle dishes to watch shared packages drop the bill
Grocery stores sell whole bags of onions, rice, and spices—not single tablespoons. Selecting meals that reuse open packages slashes what each extra dinner adds at the register.

Whole-package register totals
You can't buy 0.3 lb of rice. Every ingredient rounds up to real store packages, showing both what you pay today and what carries over into next week's pantry.
Appliance-honest filtering
Cooking in a dorm or studio without an oven? Uncheck it once and every suggested recipe is guaranteed to work on the gear you actually own.
Three-way pantry control
Mark any store item as Have it ($0 at checkout), Use, or Avoid across an entire aisle like Seafood or Dairy.
How it works
Four steps from weekly budget to aisle-sorted list
- 01
Set your register target
Choose a weekly grocery ceiling, 1–7 days, meals per day, and household size. Ingredient quantities scale automatically.
- 02
Match your real kitchen
Toggle only the appliances you own—stovetop, air fryer, rice cooker, microwave. Exclude allergens or mark items already on your shelf.
- 03
Pack the week with overlap
Auto-fill prioritizes dishes that share open packages of produce, dairy, and aromatics—or pick slot-by-slot sorted by marginal cart cost.
- 04
Walk the aisles once
Export one consolidated list grouped by store aisle, priced in whole packages the way checkout actually charges.
