What’s your food budget?

I don’t chase shelf prices — I lean on cost-effective ingredients when money’s tight, and reach for treats when there’s room.

Weekly grocery budget R900
R300R10 000+

A sensible middle — I’ll balance value staples with a few nicer meals.

This feature is still being built. Typing in your ingredients works and gives real matches — photo recognition is a preview, so for now it just adds a few sample items you can edit.

Open your fridge or cupboard, snap a photo or tell me what’s there, and I’ll suggest meals you can make right now — with prep times.
