Grocery Brain is built to help with all three.

How it works

  1. Tell it how you eat

    Your weekly budget, how you eat, and how much time you have to cook.

    • €60 a week
    • Vegetarian
    • 30 minutes max
  2. Get a week of meals

    Breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack for seven days, or only the meals you pick. Swap any meal in one tap, or plan again quicker, cheaper or with more protein.

    • Cheaper
    • More protein
  3. The shopping list writes itself

    Every ingredient from your week, added up and combined, minus what's already in your pantry. Tick things off as you shop and they move into your pantry.

  4. Waste less, and see where the money went

    Your pantry puts what's about to expire first, and "Use what's left" finds recipes that match what you have. At the end of the week, a review compares what you planned to spend with your budget.

    Questions

    Do I have to type in everything in my kitchen?

    No. Start with a few things you use often. Anything you tick off your shopping list is added for you, so the pantry fills itself over time.

    Does it work for vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free diets?

    Yes. Choose your diet when you sign up and the planner only picks recipes that fit it.

    How does it know what food costs?

    Every ingredient has a typical price from Greek supermarkets, and each recipe knows how many people it feeds. Grocery Brain adds it up for your week and the people you cook for, and compares the total with your budget. It's an estimate, not your receipt.

    Who can see my pantry and plans?

    Only you. Your pantry, meal plans and shopping lists are private to your account.

    Can I change the plan if I don't like it?

    Yes. Swap any meal in one tap, or plan the whole week again with different filters.

    How does it handle food allergies?

    If you agree to save them, your meal plans and "Use what's left" leave out every recipe whose listed ingredients match them, and recipe pages warn you. It can't see what's in the products you buy, so always check the labels.
