Your pantry plus this week's deals equalsdinner, solved.
GrocerE starts with what's already in your kitchen, layers on your
store's weekly specials, filters by your tastes and allergies — and
hands you a meal plan plus a shopping list of only what's missing.

The core idea
It's simple grocery math
Two little equations run everything in GrocerE. Your pantry comes
first, the deals come second, and your preferences shape it all.
what you have+what's on sale=your meal plan
Recipes ranked around your kitchen
Every recipe is scored against your actual pantry and your
store's live weekly ad — so the plan leans on ingredients you
already own and the ones that are cheap right now.
Pantry first. See exactly how many ingredients you already have — "7 of 8" — before you commit to a recipe.
Deals second. Recipes featuring this week's sale items float to the top, with real prices — "$1.99/lb, was $3.29."
Your preferences always. Allergens are strictly excluded, diets strictly matched, favorite cuisines boosted.
Your mode, your dial. Flip between Budget (cook from what you have), Normal, and Stock Up (lean into the deals) — the ranking shifts instantly.

A list of only what's missing
One tap turns your meal plan into a shopping list — then GrocerE
subtracts your pantry, item by item, so you never buy what you
already own.
Real subtraction. Quantities from every planned recipe are added up, converted to matching units, and reduced by what's on your shelves.
Deals flagged in place. Anything still on the list gets matched to this week's promotions, with the sale price right on the row.
Grouped for the aisles. Produce with produce, dairy with dairy — shop the store in one pass.
Edits survive. Change the plan and the list regenerates — but your hand-added items and checked-off progress stay put.
Done shopping? Don't. Send the finished list to Instacart in one tap and have it delivered instead.
Simple as 1-2-3-4-5
From shelf to shopping cart
Set it up once — then GrocerE re-runs the math for you every single week.

Questions
Fair questions, straight answers
Which grocery stores does GrocerE support?
ALDI, Publix, and Market Basket today, with more chains on the way. Pick the locations near you and each store's weekly ad is ingested automatically — no flyer browsing, no coupon clipping.
How does GrocerE know what I already have?
You stock your in-app pantry once — Rapid Scan makes it fast (continuous barcode scanning, beep per item), or snap a product label. From there, recipes show a live pantry match like "7 of 8 ingredients," and shopping lists automatically subtract what you own, converting units so 2 cups here and 500 g there add up correctly.
What if someone in my family has an allergy?
Allergens are a hard filter, not a preference. Flag any of 12 allergens (peanut, gluten, dairy, shellfish…) and recipes containing them are excluded from every surface — search, recommendations, and the auto-generated meal plan. Diets like vegan, keto, or Whole30 are enforced just as strictly.
Is the free plan actually useful?
Yes — the entire core loop is free: unlimited pantry, unlimited saved recipes, weekly deals at up to two stores, deal-matched recipes, week-ahead meal planning, and smart shopping lists. Premium adds household sharing, month-ahead planning, link imports, and push alerts.
How does household sharing work?
A Premium member opens a household and invites family by text or join code. Everyone then shares one pantry, one meal plan, and one shopping list, updated live. Roles keep it sane: admins manage membership, members edit everything, participants get read-only access. One Premium subscription covers the whole household.
Can I use my own recipes?
Absolutely. Create recipes by hand, paste them as text, or photograph a cookbook page — all free. Premium adds import-by-link: paste a URL and the title, ingredients, steps, and times fill in automatically. Your recipes then join the same pantry-matching and deal-ranking math as everything else.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Premium starts with a 15-day free trial and is billed through the App Store or Google Play, so you can cancel in your device's subscription settings at any time — no emails, no phone calls.
