Plan to a budget
Set a weekly cap. The generator picks meals that fit the budget before adding anything else.
Shop the list
The grocery list is built from your plan, grouped by category, so nothing extra creeps in.
Cook once, eat all week
Shared ingredients across meals cut waste and cost; rice, beans, and eggs are common anchors.

FAQ
What budget does the planner use?
The standard budget preset uses a $70 weekly planning cap and the cheap variant uses $35. These are product inputs, not promises about local store prices.
What nutrition does a budget plan show?
It estimates calories and macros from mapped USDA data, shows coverage, and names ingredients without mapped data.
Does budget take more time?
Not much: shared-ingredient plans often cook faster because you batch similar items.
