Maybe

I don't have tiktok. Instagram if it's able to pull files from the message part on it that might work. Most of the influencers I follow say to comment on a post for the actual recipe and they will either dm you the recipe, have a button to press to access the recipe, or have a button to press to enter your email for the recipe which they then email instead.

If you're able to pull from websites, ebooks, and files, that would be helpful. That's where I get most of my recipes.

Being able to pull from YouTube would be amazing. So much easier to just read a recipe instead of having to take the time to watch and take notes watching a video for a recipe.

If it can be implemented with the Cozi app for the grocery list since that's the app I use for lists.

I would at least try it if it's free, what to make is always difficult, especially if you family is open to eating from many cultures. I get all of my recipes from Pinterest and AI though.

Hey, I don’t personally do this (I do hellofresh) but just giving input that a lot of my coworkers say they use chatgpt* for exactly this minus the ordering groceries part

Yes I most definitely would!!! I don’t know if I’d pay for it though, I’d be willing to deal with ads to be able to use it. Not sure if you’re considering that as your revenue source but that’s just me!

1,000% yes. 🙌

Mealime is good for this I think especially cooking for 1 or 2.

I absolutely love Cozi for this! I've been using it for at least 13 years. You do have to spend a bit of time adding recipes, but once it's done, it's great. I tried Samsung Food recently, and on the surface it seems more convenient but after a couple of weeks I deleted my account and went back to cozi with no regrets. 

I haven't tried it, so huge grain of salt, but a food youtube channel I like (sortedfood) has an app that is supposed to be really helpful with meal prepping. It let's you pick weekly meal packs then makes the shopping list and has step by step instructions. I believe they have a free trial of some sort, so worth a shot? Fwiw, I only haven't tried it because I tend to do one big cook the weekend and then eat it all week, so until that stops working for me I don't want to mess with it lol

Thanks all! For a multitude of reasons, our family is going to trial the skylight calendar for 120 days with meal planning feature. Friends love it.

Not sure if this fits what you're looking for exactly, but I've found AI (ChatGPT) very helpful in the meal planning realm

We are creatures of habit in my house. We have like 15 meals we eat in random rotation. Didn’t realize this till I put them into the Notes app on my phone. When we plan our meals for the week, we go through the list and pick the ones we want to have. Then we make a grocery list using Alexa and shop using that.

I do recommend the Mela app too. You can add recipes in there by scanning them, typing them in or importing them from a website. You can also create a shopping list for a recipe within the app and it also lets you halve or double the recipe if needed. Not much thinking involved which is good for me cause I sick at math. The app is like $5 and not a subscription.

If you're looking for a simple way to organize and store your recipes, I’d recommend checking out Cooklang. It’s a text-based system for writing recipes in a structured format. I use it to store all my family’s go-to meals and can easily share recipes with my partner or the kids. You can also quickly look up ingredients, and it keeps things organized without being overwhelming. It might help simplify meal planning, especially when you're juggling multiple meals for the family

I have liked Meal Board. It’s $3.99, not free, but it’s a one-time price and there are no ads on it. It works well for importing recipes from most websites, and it also lets you import ingredients from the recipes you have planned into a grocery list. I haven’t really used the pantry feature, but it is to track what ingredients you already have at home.

I use Paprika: https://www.reddit.com/r/MealPrepSunday/comments/rvbcwp/have_you_used_the_paprika_app

Anylist is pretty great! They have an app and a website, there's a button to import recipes and easily organize them, and you can easily add everything you need to a shopping list. I guess there's an iphone part that can automatically add things to Kroger (I think) but I don't have access to it.

Paprika does everything you want. It's been out for over a decade, at least that's how long I've been using it and it's a great app.

I used and liked the app emeals previously!

I use chat gpt for that sometimes. Just give it whatever constraints you want, and it can make your meal plan for the week for you. I’ve never used it to make a grocery list, but I’m sure you could ask it to make the list based on the meal plan it gives you.

Every Tuesday I sit down and plan my shopping over Wed and Thur. I live 15 miles away from any grocery store, and 40 from a good grocery store, so this is all done carefully. Basically I shop the sales. Chuck roast on sale? One for this week, one in the freezer, leftovers for beef barley soup. (That's minimum 4 meals out of 2 chuck roasts, for 4 ppl). Salmon on sale next week? .but enough for a month, or two, it doesn't go on sale often.

By planning carefully I absolutely know I save over 1k a year.

Meal Lime is my favorite.

Check to see if your grocery store has one.

I use the Albertsons app. They have a bunch of pre loaded recipes and you can also create your own.

Best part about it is once you add what you are planning to cook for the week it’ll make you a shopping list which then can be added to curbside pickup

I signed up for a weekly meal newsletter. The blogger makes a meal plan for the week. That has helped somw

Great review

I use Fina Money for my budget and it helps me keep track of everything in one place. For meal planning try Mealime or Yummly.

They both let you plan meals and create shopping lists easily on mobile. Mealime is especially quick and simple to use for weekly planning.

I’ve been in that same boat with Notion! It’s great in theory, but the mobile experience just feels too clunky for something as hands-on as grocery and meal planning. I ended up switching to simpler apps for meal prep, like Paprika or Mealime, which are more straightforward and designed for that specific purpose. They make it easier to save recipes and generate shopping lists automatically, which is a lifesaver.

For the budgeting side of things, I use Habit Money to track my grocery spending each week. It’s not a meal planning app, but I like how it gives me a clear view of how much I’m spending across categories, including groceries. The weekly spending breakdowns really help me figure out where I might be overdoing it, like when I impulse-buy extra snacks that aren’t in the plan. It also sends reminders to check my spending, which keeps me in line with my grocery budget without too much effort. Between using Habit Money and a dedicated meal prep app, I feel way more organized and less stressed about food expenses.

I like Mealime. I pay $3/month but there is a free version. It probably saves me around $500/month if not more.

I use Supercook (I'm on Android).

Put in what stock you have, what you'd like to use as a main ingredient etc and it will give you a selection of recipes. It will also prompt you to consider other ingredients you might have, to broaden your options.

Will then send you to a Web page for the recipe itself.

Completely free and I use it from time to time to see what else I could make.

Not sure about the financial aspect but I really like Copy Me That for meal planning, and it lets you easily save recipes and create a grocery list

Here is a meal planning tool that's free. It may be a bit bare bones compared to some of the ones out there, but has recipes a calendar and some helpful features.

I never found the perfect app. Instead I look at meal plans other people post online. I usually just use most of this guys recipes: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wegmansmealplans

I love Mealime. It has options like Easy to Make and Budget Friendly. You can tell it ingredients you don't like and it tells you what to do step by step with timers. It even calculates to use leftover items to be more efficient when shopping! You can try it for free and pay if you want more from it.

Beatthebudget.com has lots of meal prep recipes

https://www.budgetbytes.com/join has meal planning and budget friendly meals. It's not an app but it might work for you.

Edit: corrected link

If you're planning on doing if it fits your macros, nothing beats my fitness pal.

Eat this much https://www.eatthismuch.com/

I use google keep as a list to organize my weekly meals. Helps me plan grocery shopping in advance, I can quickly add or edit dishes and I can simply scroll through the dishes while planning if I'm feeling uninspired.

I've used this system for 2 years now and I almost never have issues with food, groceries or produce going bad.
