# MealPantry

> MealPantry is an Australian meal-planning app for iOS and Android. It reads the weekly Woolworths, Coles, ALDI and IGA supermarket catalogues, identifies the cheapest groceries for a family's chosen cuisines, and automatically generates a personalised 1–2 week meal plan that fits within a set weekly budget. Leftover pantry items carry forward to the next week's plan.

## What MealPantry does

- Scans Woolworths, Coles, ALDI and IGA catalogues as new editions become available
- Compares prices across all four supermarkets for ~60 common ingredients
- Assigns each ingredient to the cheapest available store for that week
- Builds a complete weekly meal plan from 200+ recipes across 8 cuisines (Western, Italian, Indian, Asian, Mexican, Mediterranean, and more)
- Stays within the user's nominated weekly grocery budget
- Tracks pantry inventory so leftover ingredients carry into the next plan
- Exports a one-click shopping list sorted by supermarket aisle
