Pantry-first planning, in four steps
No idealised recipe assuming an empty kitchen — Pantry Pal starts from what you already have and builds outward.
1. Add what's already in your kitchen
Scan shelves, bags, and packaging with your camera, scan a barcode, or just type items in. Pantry Pal keeps a running list with quantities, categories, and expiry dates.
2. Get meal suggestions built around it
Recommendations are scored against what you already have, your household's diet and dislikes, and how quickly things need using up — not a generic recipe feed.
3. Shop only for what's missing
Every plan produces a shopping list of the gaps, not a full grocery run. Save shopping plans to compare weeks and track budget over time.
4. Share it with your household
Invite the people you live with. Everyone sees the same pantry, plan, and shopping list, with roles so you can control who can edit versus just view.
What Premium adds
Everything above is free. Premium (£4.99/month) removes the limits:
