Planning the week's groceries takes 90 minutes on average: reading four stores' flyers, picking recipes, calculating quantities, drawing up the list, hoping you got it right.

Our method flips the logic. Instead of searching for recipes then comparing prices, you pick your stores then let the sorting happen automatically. Instead of juggling four flyers, you look at what's worth it this week.

Five steps. Five minutes. The method we've been using for our family for two years, that we share with you today.

The five steps

From dinner idea
to a ready list.

Before: 90 minutes. Four flyers. Doubts.

After: 5 minutes. One list. Certainty.

Same store. Less expensive. Less time.

01

Pick your stores.

Select the stores where you usually shop. Everything flows from there — your deals, your recipes, your list will all be based on those stores.

02

Let the sorting do the work.

The recipes most worth it this week show up first — the ones that combine the best deals across your chosen stores. You don't search anymore, you choose.

03

Filter to your taste.

Beef, chicken, veggie — apply the filter that speaks to you. Sorting by price stays available — for when savings beat the deal.

04

The list builds itself.

Pick 3 or 4 recipes. Adjust the portions. Common ingredients are merged automatically. The list is organized by store aisle, with each discounted ingredient showing its price, store, and photo.

05

Check off with confidence.

You know exactly what to buy, where, and how much you're saving. If someone else finishes the shopping for you, share the list as a PDF — only the remaining ingredients show up.

The result

Five minutes,
later.

Before
  • 90 min of planning
  • 4 flyers compared by hand
  • Doubts about the real deals
  • Surplus bought out of laziness
  • Shepherd's pie three nights in a row
After
  • 5 min of planning
  • Deals identified automatically
  • List organized by aisle
  • Quantities adjusted just right
  • Savings shown in plain view

"You shouldn't have to
read the flyer anymore."

We first built this method on an Excel file, when our second child arrived. Today, after two years and 8,000 people in our community, we're launching the mobile app that automates it completely.
