Set your household and tap “Plan my week”.
The rest of your week is in the app
Mittsy shows every dinner, writes the full priced list for your store, subtracts your pantry and rebuilds the week in one tap. Free on iOS and Android.
Grocery list
A meal plan maker that knows the price
Most meal plan generators hand you seven recipe names and leave you to find out at the till what the week cost. This one prices every night before you shop: each recipe is costed line by line from an ingredient price table, scaled to your servings and your store type, and the week is checked against your budget. Lock the nights you like, regenerate the rest, then copy the aisle-sorted list.
The catalogue is the same one inside the Mittsy app, where “Plan my week” goes further: it writes new recipes for your household with AI, subtracts your pantry, splits the list across two stores and rebuilds the week in one tap.
Questions people ask
Is this meal plan generator free?
Yes. It runs in your browser on the same recipe catalogue and ingredient price table the Mittsy app uses. There is no account, no email and no limit on how many weeks you generate.
Where do the prices come from?
Every recipe is costed from an ingredient price table of typical U.S. supermarket prices, scaled for the store type you pick (discount, standard, premium). They are estimates marked with a “~”, good enough to keep a week under budget, not a receipt.
How does it choose the dinners?
It filters the catalogue by your diet, allergies, maximum cooking time and appliances, then picks nights so that no two consecutive dinners share a protein or a cuisine and the week lands under your budget. Lock a night you like and regenerate the rest.
Can it use what is already in my pantry?
The web version prices the full list. The Mittsy app subtracts your pantry, splits the list across up to two stores, and rebuilds the week in one tap when plans change.
How is this different from a meal plan template?
A template is a blank grid you fill in. This generates the dinners, the servings, the cost per night and the aisle-sorted grocery list for you. If you want the blank grid, use the printable weekly meal planner template on this site.
