Tired of wasting grocery money, I built a tool to plan meals around what’s already in the house. (Would love your feedback!)

Hey folks, like a lot of families right now, our grocery budget has felt tighter and tighter. I noticed we were constantly buying ingredients we already had tucked away at the back of the cupboard or fridge simply because we forgot they were there. As a dad of 4, I spent my spare time off shift building an app to fix this. It lets you snap a photo of your ingredients, auto-fills your weekly meal plan around what you already own, creates batch-cooking schedules so leftovers don't go to waste, and organises your shopping list aisle-by-aisle.
