Leave a Review Plan to Eat
Food and financial freedom
We love Plan to Eat. Being able to store our own recipes, copy others, and friend people who have recipe collections has been wonderful. In addition, the ability to just punch in a few items we have in our kitchen and have it search for recipes to know what I can use in my refrigerator or pantry without having to make an extra grocery run has been a lifesaver.
By having an easy to use application, meal planning is easy and has saved us lots of money. We used to have nights where it seemed far easier to do take out or go out rather then fix a meal are now gone and save us a lot of money each year.
Being able to access our shopping list on a phone or printed out has made it easy for myself or other family members to do the grocery shopping.Show lessilcupofjojo
Key to successful healthy eating!!
Plan to eat was the key to my success when I decided to flip my life upside down and cook every meal. With this app I was able to plan healthy meals and it helped me in completing the whole30. I've lost 40 pounds in one year with this app (along with healthier eating and healthy amounts of activity). This app saves so much time in planning you have more time to actually cook! It also empowered my husband to do grocery shopping because he was no longer trying to read my chicken scratch of handwriting and terribly spelled words. He could simply pull up the list on the app and it really helped when he could see what recipes lined up with which ingredients. It brought synchronicity to our grocery shopping because you can add anything at anytime! Love, love, love this app!Show lessa girl who likes weather
Best app for a busy mom
I have used plan to eat for several years now. I load in a few new recipes each month using the website links, which is so quick and easy. It’s rare that it doesn’t come in correctly! Being able to just add meals to the calendar and then go to the shopping list and toggle between that and my Kroger app as I load my cart makes grocery shopping so much faster and easier. I never have to worry about not having an ingredient for a meal because it’s all put on the list for me. My over-stressed brain doesn’t have to think through each and every meal while I shop.
Then I just pull up the app each morning to see what’s for dinner and see if I need to thaw anything out or remember to start a crockpot.
I love that it saves all my meals. I can easily tweak recipes. I have made tags for when I want to follow a certain eating plan.
I just love this app and site!!Show lessAleet29
Great app
The app is very practical and user friendly. Recipes import and display on screen very neatly, and the smooth transfer of meal ingredients to grocery lists is extremely helpful.
Would be 5 stars if there was an option to create your own cuisines/tags. There’s no Keto tag—like,really?! At least give me that! 😅
Recipe organization is my number two need right behind grocery list planning for meals. I have way too many recipes to not have a means to effectively categorize them within the app. It’s really frustrating. Another inconvenience is that recipes aren’t very printer-friendly, but for me this issue is negligible since I don’t print very often.
I basically have to use a different meal planning app for recipe storage, categorization and printing, but I have to import recipes to both apps sometimes since I prefer this app for its grocery shopping lists and the superior on-screen recipe layout and cleanliness.
I paid for a year membership but I can’t say it’s worth renewing to pay for again next year when I have a different app (which only required a one-time purchase) that can do everything I need. Though this app is more aesthetically pleasing than the other, it’s not worth the cost when I can’t even organize my extensive recipe library.Show lessPura J.
Meal Planners Dream!
I have been using Plan to Eat for years! It makes meal planning so easy to schedule recipes for specific meals. The first year I spent some time gathering my favorite recipes into my list, but it was so worth it. Now, if a friend sends me a recipe I immediately add it to my list. If I find a recipe that my family doesn’t like, I immediately remove it from My Recipes. I know that the recipes I have complied are delicious and manageable. When I go out of town, I have my recipes with me. Unlike Pinterest, the recipes don’t “disappear” because they are in this app. But I love having the link to the actual site in a recipe so I can share when friends ask. The shopping list is so helpful. I often order my groceries online, and I can easily move between my shopping list to the grocery website.Show lessjkmcooks
Saves us tons of money and time!!!
We downloaded just about every menu planning app that sounded remotely good. All of them were huge disappointments. This one isn’t just not a disappointment, it delivers!
We plan our meals for a week or month at a time. If we make changes to the recipes, it automatically updates our shopping list and the recipe.
It will give you a customized recipe that it adjusts based on the number of servings you want to have.
It allows us to adjust the servings, so if we have guests over (not during stay-at-home orders), we can account for that in both the shopping list and the customized weekly recipes.
It allows us to save menus so we can reuse them.
You can sort items by store and even by aisle if you set your categories to aisles. You can even save prices for items, so you know if you planned an expensive week.
You can recipes and menus with your friends.
It keeps track of what’s in your freezer, and tells you when to defrost it.
The recipes have prep instructions. If you need to soak beans or pull something out of a freezer, you can set that to a day before (or any custom time) and the menu plan will remind you.
There are so many more ways to use this app and so many more features. It’s just fantastic!!Show lessBalanced Butterfly
Love this App!!
I have been using PTE for years now. I started before they had the app and it was web based only. Worth every penny! Find a recipe you like online? Copy the web address and upload to PTE. That easy. Everything saves. Automatically make a grocery store list based on all the ingredients you need for the recipes in your calendar. Never find yourself short the ingredients you need for meals. Recipes are easy to edit and if you need to change the number of serving you can and the recipe adjusts. How cool is that! Easy to change the date a meal is scheduled if you want or delete it. Calendar has breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks categories as well as “plan notes” available for each category. I use this to fill in a meal that I don’t have or need a recipe for like “leftovers” or to remind myself of something in the recipe. Give it a try 💕🥰Show lessamk829
Best app EVER
This is the best app out there for organizing your recipes and populating a grocery list. I’m a mom of 5 kids and so menu planning, grocery shopping and getting meals on the table is a big part of my life. And it’s where i can get easily overwhelmed. This App seriously gets it all organized for me. No more stress! One of my favorite features is uploading recipes into your PTE account. It’s does it automatically kind of like Pinterest but better! Another favorite, is it automatically populated a grocery list. You’re able to customize it if anything needs to be changed. It’s so easy to use the app while I’m shopping and mark things off. I also love the cooking view. This gives step by step instructions to make the recipe. It’s been easy to get the kids involved and for my husband to use the app too. He can view the grocery list and use it to know what items we need.Show lessmom of 5- Bethany
The app I've been waiting for!
This is the app I needed to get all my recipes from all different sites on the internet organized in one place, categorized and tagged and searchable and easy to pull up and follow using my phone or iPad. Meal planning is simple and intuitive, and the automated shopping list is so easily customized, and even includes shopping staples that aren't from my recipes - like dog food and cleaning products and snacks for my kids. I'm able to create categories for the grocery store that match the actual aisles in my store, so I can shop my way through the site in an efficient way. I can put the list on my phone, and check off items as I pick them up. This is an extremely well-designed app that I will use daily. Thank you, PTE - worth every penny and then some!Show lessKme1704
Time saving miracle
I love this app! First off, they let me do a free trial without having to give me Credit Card info first. I love that. Of course I loved the app so after my free trail I purchased right away. This app saves all my recipes, even the ones from Pinterest. Now all my recipes are on one easy place and I do t have to deal with adds and pop ups when using a recipe from online. This app allows you to copy the website address and paste, then it pulls the recipe for you! No wringing or typing is needed! Of course it does have that option should have a h handwritten or family recipe to put it. Then I can customize meals and days and even customize a shopping list based on the dates I choose. This app saves me so much time and headache when meal planning. I highly recommend.Show lessworkingmom83
