### 5/5 — Useful!

*2026-09-24*

This is a great little tool to identify what you have available in the fridge/freezer and pantry. It reminds one of what is already at home before going on a shopping trip, but it also offers some recipes associated with the ingredients that one has noted as available and the current inventory.

### 4/5 — Nice idea cooking from what you have

*2026-09-15*

The free trial version is limited, but idea is good.  Not sure if paid version will give me what I would want.

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2026-09-15*

I’ve been able to try a variety of new recipes that I probably wouldn’t have thought of on my own. It’s also been really nice to reduce the amount of food I waste compared to what I used to.

### 5/5 — Wowza.

*2026-09-12*

Saved me a trip to the store.

### 4/5 — PantryPick

*2026-09-11*

Nice app to save money on otherwise wasted groceries.

### 5/5 — PantryPick

*2026-09-11*

This is such a cool idea. I tried it out and even with just a few items in my home it came up with great suggestions. I like it gives suggestions for recipes for things that may only require the purchase of a few items. Coming up with what to cook is always a chore for me.
