CartBrain: Meal Plan & Budget

CartBrain plans your family's whole week of meals around the money you actually have — and the prices at the stores you actually shop.

Tell it who's eating, what your budget is, and which stores are near you. CartBrain builds a week of real meals, prices them against current local flyer deals, and hands you an organised shopping list split by store.

★ BUILT AROUND YOUR BUDGET
Set what you can spend this week. Every plan is built to fit it, using what's on sale near you and what's already in your pantry. You see the running total before you shop — not a surprise at the till.

★ REAL FAMILIES, NOT SERVING SIZES
Adults, teenagers, school-age kids and toddlers all eat differently. CartBrain sizes portions from each person's age, and handles allergies, diets and the food your kids will genuinely eat.

★ SCHOOL AND DAYCARE LUNCHES
Nut-free, cold-only, no reheating, thermos or no thermos — set it once per child and every packed lunch respects it. Rotating shifts are handled too.

★ YOUR SHOPPING LIST WORKS IN THE STORE
Grocery stores have terrible reception. CartBrain's list is saved on your phone, so you can tick items off with no signal at all — and everything syncs the moment you're back online. Close the app mid-shop and nothing is lost.

★ ONE RUNNING SHOPPING LIST
Your own list, always in sync with your plan. Tick something off in either place and it's ticked in both — it's the same item, not a copy. Add anything you like, and see this week's real flyer prices from shops near you before you do. Archive a finished list and it's kept exactly as it was.

★ TRAVEL MODE
Going away? Tell CartBrain where you're staying and it follows you: stores near you, that area's flyers, and prices in the local currency. Your home address, your usual stores and your billing all stay exactly as they are, and coming home is one tap. Available for Canada and the United States.

★ BREAKFAST, LUNCH, SUPPER AND SNACKS
Plan whichever meals you want. Regenerate a day you don't like, swap a single meal, or lock the ones everyone loved.

★ IT LEARNS YOUR HOUSEHOLD
Loved meals come back. Rejected ones don't. Must-have items — the specific snacks and brands your family insists on — are added to every list automatically and counted in the budget.

★ BILINGUAL
Entirely available in English and Canadian French. Switch any time.
