## What is MealBudget?

Tell MealBudget what you want to spend, pick the dinners your family wants, and get one grocery list with the total before you shop. Meals share ingredients, so you buy less and throw away less.

START WITH YOUR BUDGET

Set the number for the week. Choose a few favorites or let MealBudget pick meals that go well together. You see what the week costs, and what is left of your budget, before you leave the house.

BUY LESS, WASTE LESS

Meals are chosen so their ingredients carry across dishes. The same bunch of herbs goes into two dinners. A can opened on Monday is finished on Thursday. Whole packages get used. That is what keeps fresh cooking affordable.

ONE LIST, SORTED BY AISLE

Every line says how many packages to buy and what size. The list is grouped the way the store is laid out, and you can send it to whoever is doing the shopping. It opens on their phone without an account.

MEALS YOUR FAMILY WILL EAT

313 recipes across 23 cuisines, from Greek and Mexican to Korean, Thai and Brazilian. Use the Quick filter for dinners in 30 minutes or less. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and pork-free weeks are supported. Set allergies and dietary needs once and they apply to every week. Cook for two or for six. Plan dinners only, or every meal of the day. Saved weeks are there when you want them again. Import a recipe from a link, a screenshot or a PDF, and cook it step by step with timers.

YOUR LIST IN 19 LANGUAGES

Every ingredient and dish name in your own language. The list uses your store's words too: a British list says cornflour where an American one says cornstarch. The app's buttons and headings are in English, Arabic, German, Greek and Spanish, with more on the way.

LOCAL PRICES IN 16 COUNTRIES
