How to make a grocery list for the week
Build a weekly grocery list from recipes you have checked.
Choose the meals and serving counts first. Give ChatGPT the recipe ingredient lists with amounts. Dish names alone can lead it to guess what you need.
Sample: two recipes each use one tin of beans. You have one tin. You need to buy one more. Other ingredients must come from the recipes.
Check every amount against the recipes, then review pack sizes and prices. Add breakfast or snacks separately if the list needs to cover those too.
- Paste the sample into ChatGPT.
- Check the one-tin buy amount.
- Use your full recipe lists and stock at home.
- Check quantities and food labels before shopping.
Sample recipe A uses one tin of beans; B uses one tin. I have one tin. Make the bean buy-list and show the amount. Other food is not given. Do not add staples.
Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.
A dinner list alone does not cover all food for the week.
