BatchBudget

BatchBudget is a mobile + web app that turns your weekly budget and schedule into a realistic batch-cooking plan. You enter how many people you’re feeding, dietary constraints, how many nights you’ll cook, and your max grocery spend. The app generates a prep session (e.g., 90 minutes Sunday) that produces mix-and-match components (proteins, grains, sauces, roasted veg) and then assembles them into fast weeknight meals with minimal extra steps. It outputs a consolidated grocery list grouped by store section, plus a prep checklist and storage guidance (what to refrigerate vs freeze, how long it keeps). It also tracks what you actually used and adjusts next week’s plan to reduce waste. This isn’t a “pretty recipe app”; it’s a practical system for people who are tired, busy, and overpaying for takeout.
