Bawbee
a week of meals you can actually afford
Answer a few questions once. Bawbee writes the week, prices it against your shop, and turns it into a list sorted by aisle.
it plans to a number, not to a recipe blog
Most planners pick nice recipes and let you find out the damage at the till. Bawbee starts from your weekly figure and the shop you use, and every meal has to fit inside it.
- Around 100 chains across the UK, Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, or your local shop anywhere else.
- Priced in the currency of the country you picked.
- Swap one meal, or throw out the week and ask for another.
the shopping list writes itself
Every ingredient, added up and sorted the way your shop is laid out. Tick things off as you go and the total comes down with you.
it only suggests food you can actually cook
Tap the appliances you own and the week is built around them. No oven means no meal that needs one. You tap them in a drawn kitchen instead of ticking boxes on a list.
Allergies are treated as absolute and never appear at all.
questions worth asking
If yours is not here, the support page has a way to reach us.
Are the prices real?
They are realistic estimates, not live shelf prices. Every meal is costed for the shop you picked, which is why a week planned for a discounter comes out lower than the same week at a premium shop. Treat the total as a good guide to what you will spend, not a receipt printed in advance.
Will it respect an allergy?
Allergies are the one thing treated as absolute. They are excluded outright rather than merely discouraged, and the week is checked against your answers after it is written as well as before. That said, it is software: read the ingredients yourself if a reaction would be serious.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up and no login. Your answers and your week live on your phone.
What does it cost?
47.99 euro a year, which works out at 4.00 a month, or 9.99 a month if you would rather pay monthly. Both start with three days free. The App Store shows the exact figure in your own currency.
Which countries does it cover?
The UK, Ireland and most of Europe, plus the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with around 100 real chains between them. Anywhere else, pick Somewhere else and shop at My local shop.
