It plans my meals from photos of my pantry and a $50 shop from the store ad

He photographed his pantry and listed everything in his fridge and freezer, and it built three weeks of meal plans to use up as much perishable food as possible. In week four it worked from his grocery store's ad with a budget of $50 to buy as little new food as possible and keep the plan going. He is on month two of this.

How it works

  1. Photograph the pantry and list fridge and freezer contents
  2. It builds three weeks of meal plans using perishables first
  3. In week four it reads the store ad
  4. It picks the smallest set of purchases inside a $50 budget to keep going

Why it’s worth knowing

The plan starts from photographs of his shelves, not a recipe search: the pantry decides dinner, and the store ad only fills the gaps.
