MyFoodManager
Plan the week. Price the list. Cook the food.
MyFoodManager connects what you cook to what it actually costs at your stores. Snap a shelf tag and AI reads the item, price, and size into a private price book that grows every trip. Plan a week — or let AI plan one from your own recipes and budget — and the planner prices it against real numbers, then tells you the cheapest single store to shop or how to split the basket and what that split saves.

The problem
Meal-planning apps price nothing, grocery apps plan nothing, and calorie trackers charge $80 a year to do neither. Nobody knows what next week's menu really costs until they're at the register, because no app knows what a can of tomatoes costs at their store — only a national average, if that.
The solution
MyFoodManager builds a personal price book from shelf tags the user photographs, so every recipe and meal plan is costed against prices that are actually real for them. Recipes arrive from text, a link, or a photo of a cookbook page, and each one gets an FDA-style Nutrition Facts label computed from USDA data. Before a trip, the app compares the whole list across their stores — cheapest one-stop, or a two-store split with the savings in dollars. Then a one-hand store mode works offline in dead-zone aisles, and a big-type kitchen mode keeps the screen awake while cooking.
