The big idea
Helping with meal planning saves your household real money. AI can build a 7-day plan around current fridge contents, dietary needs, and a target budget.
Some examples
- List what's in the fridge, then ask for 5 meals using mostly that.
- Set a budget like '$80 for the week' and AI will respect it.
- Include a household food preference list in the prompt.
- Print the shopping list — easier than juggling phones in the store.
Try it!
Open your fridge, list what's there in ChatGPT, and ask for a 5-meal plan using mostly those ingredients.
