Let AI plan your week from a photo of your fridge

Open your fridge, take one photo, and let AI hand you a full week of dinners and a shopping list in 30 seconds. No more "what's for dinner" at 6pm while you stare at an empty shelf.

How it works

1. Open ChatGPT (free) or Claude.
2. Take a photo of your fridge and pantry with the doors open.
3. Paste the prompt below.

The prompt

Here's a photo of my fridge and pantry. Plan 5 dinners for this week using mostly what I already have. For each dinner give me: 1) the recipe name, 2) a 5 step method, 3) exact ingredients and amounts. Then make one shopping list of only what's missing, grouped by store aisle. I'm feeding [NUMBER] people and my budget is $[AMOUNT]. I don't like [FOODS TO AVOID].

Make it smarter

Add one line when your week is busy:

Two nights I only have 20 minutes to cook. One night is meat-free. Add lunches that reuse dinner leftovers.

Why this saves real money

• You buy only what is missing, not whatever looks good
• Ingredients cross over between meals, so nothing rots
• Less takeout, less waste, one trip to the store

The rule

One photo, one prompt, one list. The people who stick with it are the ones who do not overthink it. Snap, paste, shop, done.
