Delivery is quietly draining your bank account. Actually Cooked shows you exactly how much β and turns that $24 order into a meal you can make at home for a fraction of the price. HOW IT WORKS 1. Screenshot your order in any food delivery app (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and more). 2. Share it to Actually Cooked β two taps from the share sheet. 3. Instantly see the comparison: what that meal costs delivered vs. what it costs to cook, plus a full recipe and grocery list. 4. Send the ingredients to your grocery cart, cook it, and watch your savings add up. No typing, no searching. Prefer another way in? Upload a screenshot from your camera roll, or just type a dish name. SEE THE REAL COST Every recipe breaks down the math: the delivery range you'd have paid, the cost to cook it at home, and exactly how much you save per meal β with real grocery prices when you connect a store, or smart regional estimates anywhere. GROCERIES IN ONE TAP Don't just get the recipe β get the groceries. Send your whole ingredient list straight to your grocery cart and check out for pickup or delivery, without retyping a single item. (Grocery ordering and live prices work with Kroger-family stores β Kroger, Fred Meyer, Ralphs, QFC, King Soopers and more.) A SMARTER GROCERY LIST Ingredients are sorted into what to buy, pantry staples you already have, signature spices, and grab-and-go items. Check off what's already in your kitchen and every price updates instantly. Or copy the list to shop any store, your way.
