VegBudget

VegBudget is a mobile + web app that turns a vegetarian eating style into a predictable weekly plan tied to real grocery prices. Users set a budget, household size, dietary preferences (lacto-ovo, vegan, high-protein), and time limits. The app generates a weekly meal plan and a store-ready shopping list that prioritizes low-cost staples, seasonal produce, and recipes that reuse ingredients to cut waste. It supports price inputs via manual entry, receipt import, or store link integrations where available, then tracks your “cost per meal” over time. It’s not trying to be another recipe gallery; it’s a budgeting tool that happens to output meals. The MVP focuses on 30–50 reliable, repeatable recipes and strong list logic rather than endless content. Optional AI helps swap ingredients, scale portions, and suggest cheaper equivalents when prices spike.
