MealPantry for Australia
Weekly Meal Planner for Australian Households
Planning a week of dinners shouldn't mean staring into the fridge on a Sunday night. MealPantry builds your whole week for you — a different dinner each night, matched to your budget, your family and what's actually on special this week at Australia's major supermarkets.
Most planners hand you recipes and leave the hard part — the budget and the shop — to you. MealPantry does it the other way around: it starts from what's cheap this week and builds the week around it. You get the plan and the shopping list together, so there's nothing left to work out.

More than just a recipe list
The meal planning app that builds your week around Australian supermarket specials.
Seven dinners, built around specials
Autopilot generates a complete seven-day dinner plan in seconds. Instead of a random recipe list, the plan uses the latest verified Australian supermarket-specials evidence as one of its planning inputs.
You get variety without the mental load of planning, with transparent estimates that help you make more deliberate choices before you shop.
The automatic shopping list
As your plan comes together, MealPantry builds the exact shopping list required. Ingredients are consolidated across meals to prevent waste, and sorted by category so you can get in and out of the store faster.
Mark items you already have in the pantry, and they are instantly removed from your final list.
Compare Australian supermarkets
See how your completed meal plan and shopping list compare across Woolworths, Coles, ALDI and IGA. MealPantry calculates the estimated cost for your exact basket at each store.
You can see the price differences clearly and choose the supermarket that offers the best value for your specific week.
Cuisines that suit your week
Select the cuisines you want to eat. Choose a mix of Italian, Asian, Mediterranean, Mexican and more.
MealPantry uses these preferences to build a more relevant week of dinners while showing how the estimated plan compares with your household budget.

Smart Swap any meal
Not in the mood for a particular dinner? Tap to swap it. Smart Swap instantly finds an alternative meal that fits within your remaining budget.
Your Household Twin learns
As you swap meals and rate dinners, your Household Twin learns your preferences. Future weekly plans automatically adjust to include more of what you love.
Zero guesswork
No more staring at the fridge at 5 PM. You have a plan, the ingredients and a visible estimate you can review against your budget before shopping.
Plan the week you actually have
A useful weekly meal plan should reflect your calendar, not an imaginary perfect week. Choose the number of dinners you need, keep simpler meals for busy evenings and swap a suggestion when plans change. If you already know that Friday is takeaway night or Sunday is dinner with family, leave those nights out rather than buying ingredients that may be wasted. The result is a shopping list tied to meals you realistically expect to cook.
Review the complete list before you shop
MealPantry combines repeated ingredients across the week so you can see the whole grocery requirement in one place. Check off pantry staples you already own, review quantities for your household and use the estimated supermarket comparison as planning evidence—not a promise about the exact checkout total. Pack sizes, substitutions, availability and local store pricing can still affect what you pay, so the list remains easy to adjust before you leave home.
Use specials without letting them dictate every dinner
Catalogue specials are most useful when they support meals your household will genuinely eat. MealPantry treats the latest verified advertised specials as a planning input alongside your budget, selected cuisines and household preferences. That means the cheapest advertised ingredient does not automatically become dinner. You can keep favourites, reject unsuitable ideas and swap meals while still seeing how the revised week fits together.
Carry a repeatable routine into next week
Weekly planning becomes easier when you do not restart from a blank page every seven days. Ratings, favourites and swaps give your Household Twin better context for the next Autopilot plan. Your settings can also change as life changes: update the household size, budget, cuisines or dietary preferences whenever needed. Each new week still belongs to you—you review the dinners, approve the swaps and decide where to shop.
