Weekly meal plan on a tight budget
This prompt plans a week of breakfasts, lunches and dinners around your food budget, diet, kitchen and time. It reuses ingredients to cut waste, gives a grocery list with rough prices and tells you if the budget is too tight for balanced meals.
Create a 7-day meal plan on a tight budget. People: [NUMBER, e.g. 2 adults] Weekly food budget: [AMOUNT] Where I shop: [e.g. local market, supermarket] Diet: [e.g. vegetarian, eats eggs, no pork] Kitchen and time: [e.g. one burner, 30 minutes on weekdays] Give breakfast, lunch and dinner for each day, reusing ingredients so little goes to waste. Add a grocery list grouped by section with rough prices, and point out which meals I can cook once and eat twice. Tell me if the budget looks too tight for balanced meals.
Prices vary a lot by city. Treat the costs as a rough guide and adjust after your first shop.
