My grocery bill was too high so I built a website that turns weekly sale items into recipes
I'm not a developer and don't have a background in coding but, I had an idea that I thought other people could benefit from. I've been trying to save money and one way was to try and shop primarily from the grocery store weekly ads. However, I hated sorting through multiple grocery store ads every Sunday night and trying to form meals around what is on sale.
So, I decided to try and build a solution using AI. The result is Dishcount. It's a free website that lets you enter your zip code, pick from your local grocery stores, browse & pick from this week's deals, and get recipe ideas built around what's on sale, what you already have, and your personal preferences.
What it does:
- Pulls weekly ad deals from 20+ grocery chains (Kroger, ALDI, Walmart, Publix, Meijer, and more)
- Uses AI to generate recipes using the sale items and items you already have
- Builds an itemized shopping list with your selected recipes included
- For Kroger family stores: adds ingredients to your store cart in one tap
Since Dishcount is my first website, I would love any feedback or advice. AI can only take me so far and I feel like I'm at the point where, I don't know what I don't know and that could cause unforeseen issues down the road. Thanks again!
