You've picked your recipes for the week. Now you need to figure out what to buy. So you open three browser tabs, scan each recipe, and start writing a list. Did the pasta recipe need 2 cloves of garlic or 3? Does the stir-fry also need garlic? Do you already have soy sauce?
Writing a grocery list from recipes is tedious, error-prone, and honestly — something a computer should be doing for you.
Let your meal plan write your grocery list
With slrp, your grocery list generates automatically from whatever recipes are in your meal plan. Add three recipes to your plan, and every ingredient from those recipes appears in your grocery list — categorised by aisle so you're not zigzagging around the supermarket.
How it works
- Add recipes to your meal plan — paste URLs to save recipes, then toss them into your plan for the week
- Open your grocery list — slrp pulls every ingredient from your planned recipes and groups them by category (produce, dairy, pantry, meat, etc.)
- Check off items as you shop, skip things you already have, or add extras manually
No cross-referencing. No forgotten ingredients. No second trip to the shops because you missed the coriander.
Smarter than a simple list
slrp doesn't just dump raw ingredient text into a list. It categorises ingredients by store section so your shopping trip follows a logical path. You can also connect your pantry — items you already have at home are flagged so you don't buy duplicates.
Shared between partners
Because slrp is built for couples, your grocery list is shared. Both of you can see it, check items off, and add things on the fly. Whoever ends up at the shops has the full list — no texting back and forth asking "did you need anything else?"
The full workflow
This is what meal planning should feel like:
- Find recipes — paste URLs from your favourite food sites
- Plan your week — pick which recipes you're cooking
- Shop smart — auto-generated, categorised grocery list
- Cook together — everything's planned, everything's bought, just cook
