BatchBudget

BatchBudget is a mobile + web AI-assisted meal-prep planner that builds a week of batch-cook recipes based on your real grocery costs, dietary needs, and time constraints. You pick your store(s), household size, cooking equipment, and prep window (e.g., 90 minutes Sunday). The app generates a tight plan: 2–3 base cooks that remix into 8–12 meals, with a consolidated shopping list and step-by-step prep workflow. It can ingest prices via retailer integrations where available, or via receipt/photo scanning when they aren’t. The focus is not “infinite recipes,” but fewer decisions, fewer trips, and lower spend. It tracks leftovers and suggests next recipes to avoid waste. Monetization: subscription for price tracking, multi-store comparison, and family profiles; free tier for basic batch plans without price optimization.
