Does anyone use a meal planning app? I want something for free and on android. Does anyone have any recommendations or want to share your experiences. I want to save time shopping and hopefully save a bit of money too.
"Yummly" is a great app. It's not a meal planning app per se, but helpful in generating some new ideas. I've got it on my phone (android app) and on my iPad (free).
You type in the name of a dish (or ingredient) and it will give you a list of the most popular recipes (from all over the internet).
Best thing about it is that when you are looking through the list of ingredients needed for the recipe, there is a little (+) sign in front of the ingredient which lets you add it to a grocery list.
I am usually a big fan of pen and paper, but I found this app to be quite useful in coming up with some new ideas, while trying to stick to a certain budget.
bbcgoodfood has excellent recipes. If you already have some ingredients, you type those in, and it will give you recipes base around them. I like it because the recipes are excellent, imaginative, and economic.
