What Dishcount does
Meal planning that starts with savings. Here's what works today, and what I'm still building.
See It In Action
Here's what meal planning from deals looks like in practice:
This week in Dayton, OH
Stores: Kroger, ALDI, Meijer
ALDI Broccoli $0.99
Kroger Cheese $2.50
This week in Los Angeles, CA
Stores: Ralphs, ALDI, Albertsons
ALDI Taco Shells $0.99
Ralphs Avocados $0.79
Prices based on typical weekly sales. Actual deals vary by location and week.
Why I built it this way
I tried every meal-planning app and every deal app I could find. None of them connected the two halves of grocery shopping. So I built that.
Real savings, not estimates
We use actual sale prices from your local stores to calculate your exact savings on every meal.
Personalized to your family
Household size, cooking skill, dietary needs, time constraints, and flavor preferences all shape your recipes.
Built around real deals
Built around what's actually on sale near you, not a fixed recipe library.
Weekly meal plans, not random recipes
Plan your whole week with shared ingredients across meals. Buy less, waste less, eat better.
Swap any ingredient
Don't like mushrooms? Tap swap and see alternatives with adjusted instructions and updated cost.
Leftover intelligence
Tell us what's left in the fridge and we'll suggest recipes to use it up. Zero food waste, maximum savings.
