## What is Passta Budget?

Cook your way through the month.

Passta Budget is the easiest way to eat well on little money and little time. Tell us what you want to spend - per week or per month - or simply let us plan as cheaply as possible. The AI puts together quick, simple meals, the shopping list is calculated in whole packs with real prices, and you see what the shop will cost before you walk in.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Pick your goal: a fixed budget - or as cheap as possible.
2. Plan your week: 2 to 7 days, breakfast, lunch, dinner, for 1 to 6 people.
3. Shop and cook: a list with prices, meals under 30 minutes, step by step in cooking mode.

WHAT YOU GET

- Your budget is a ceiling: we stay under it, never over.
- Real prices from your kind of store - discounter or supermarket, your call.
- A shopping list in whole packs: what you buy gets cooked across the week - what's left saves money on your next plan.
- Variety instead of pasta with ketchup: different dishes, different preparations, balanced across the week.
- YOUR STYLE: high-protein, vegan, vegetarian, Asian, Mexican - allergies are always fully excluded.
- FAST & SIMPLE: few ingredients, few steps, one pot or one pan.
- LETFTOVER RESCUE: meals from what's already in the fridge.
- BUDGET TAB: spent, left, price per serving - week by week.
- FLATMATES & FAMILIES: share the plan and the list - one shops, everyone cooks, everyone sees the cost.
- Germany, Austria, USA and UK with local prices and pack sizes.

WHO IT'S FOR Students, shared flats, trainees and families on a tight budget - and everyone whose food money runs out before the month does. No budgeting app, no spreadsheets: you plan, shop, cook - and the budget holds.

PRICING Your first week is completely free - plan, shop, cook. After that, a monthly or yearly subscription unlocks everything; cancel anytime. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple account; manage or cancel it in your iOS settings.

YOUR DATA Your profile, plans and ratings stay on your iPhone. Only anonymous preferences go to our kitchen AI - never your name. No ads, no tracking.
