MealTab: Budget Meal Planner

MealTab plans your week of meals around the grocery budget you set, then builds the shopping list for you.

SMART PLAN
Tell MealTab your budget, household size, diet and allergies, and which meals you plan. Smart Plan picks a week of recipes that fits, pairs dinners with a side, and shows what the week's food costs before you commit. Don't love a pick? Swap it, skip a day, or regenerate.

SEE YOUR BUDGET AT A GLANCE
Home shows how much of your weekly budget your plan uses and what's left. Pantry staples like oil, spices and rice are shown separately, because they last well beyond one week.

YOUR SHOPPING LIST, DONE FOR YOU
Every ingredient from your plan lands on one list, combined and grouped by aisle. Check items off as you shop, set the price you actually paid, or scan your receipt to update prices.

SEND IT TO YOUR KROGER CART
Shop at a Kroger-family store? Send your whole list to your Kroger cart for pickup or delivery in one tap, then review and check out with Kroger as usual.

PRICES ON EVERY RECIPE
Each recipe shows its cost per serving, cook time and calories. Prices are estimates unless you connect a Kroger-family store (Kroger, Ralphs, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Smith's, Fry's, Harris Teeter, QFC and more) for live prices near you.

300+ RECIPES, OR BRING YOUR OWN
Browse breakfast, lunch, dinner and sides, filter by vegetarian, vegan, quick or budget, or bring in your own: import a recipe from a link, or paste in the recipe text.

TRACK WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
Weekly summaries and spending history show what your meals cost and what you bought, week by week, month by month.

ALSO INCLUDED
- Diet and allergy filters (vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, keto, paleo; gluten, dairy, nuts, eggs, shellfish, soy, fish, sesame)
- Pantry tracking and a leftovers helper
- Reminders to plan your week and use up leftovers
- Backup and restore your data
