BudgetPlate
A weekly meal planner that turns budget, grocery store, dietary needs, pack sizes, and ingredient reuse into a practical shopping list instead of a recipe feed.

Build hypothesis
Potto demonstrates strong demand for the planning job, while reviews point to a sharper wedge around real pack sizes, price transparency, and ingredient reuse.
Build notes
- Ask for store, budget, servings, and dietary constraints before recipes
- Show pack-size assumptions and reuse ingredients across the week
- Keep price inputs transparent and manual until official retailer data is available

Status
Concept
Research status
Start with manual prices and one weekly shopping flow.
Audience
Budget-conscious households, students, meal preppers
Build scope hypothesis
Solo-friendly without retailer APIs; add store-specific pricing only after the manual workflow proves useful.
US market framing
US grocery and household niche; avoid promising live store prices until a reliable data source exists.
