Smart grocery list from meal plan

Auto-generate a deduplicated shopping list from your weekly meal plan.

Overview

Meridian scans your active meal plan, extracts every ingredient across all selected recipes, merges duplicate items, and produces a single grocery list sorted by category — produce, dairy, pantry, proteins, frozen.

How it works

  1. Create a meal plan on the Meal Plan page — pick recipes for each day.
  2. Click Generate List in the toolbar.
  3. Meridian aggregates ingredients, normalizes units (cups → ml, oz → g), and merges duplicates.
  4. The list renders grouped by aisle with checkable items.

Features

  • Auto-merge: two recipes calling for “1 onion” become “2 onions.”
  • Unit normalization: imperial and metric unified.
  • Aisle sorting: produce first, frozen last — walk the store efficiently.
  • Shareable link: send the list to a partner or roommate.
