A meal planner with a shopping list

Why plan?

Planning the week is the easy way to spend less

Knowing what you are cooking before you shop means fewer top-up trips, fewer takeaways and less food in the bin at the end of the week. The hard part is usually the admin: choosing the meals, then writing out everything you need.

YoHugo joins those two jobs together, so the plan and the list are the same piece of work.

The planner

A weekly meal planner built on your own recipes

The weekly meal planner lets you set a recipe for each day, using anything in your collection: recipes saved from TikTok and Instagram, cookbook pages you have photographed or ideas from Hugo.

Short on inspiration? The smart meal planner can plan your week for you, which helps save money and cut food waste.

The list

One shopping list for the whole week

When the plan is done, add all of the week's meals to your shopping list in one go. You can also add the ingredients from any single recipe with one tap.

The shopping list is sorted by aisle, so you are not zigzagging across the shop for the thing you missed.

The cost

See what the week costs at each supermarket

Because YoHugo estimates ingredient prices at Aldi, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury's, your shopping list can be compared across supermarkets before you go. That turns a meal plan into a budget.

There is more on this on our supermarket price comparison page.

On the day

Then cook it, one step at a time

On the day, open the recipe and use cook mode. It shows the method a step at a time, with the ingredients that step needs. For everything else the app does, see YoHugo, the UK recipe app.

Pricing

What it costs

Shopping lists are always free in YoHugo. The weekly meal planner is part of YoHugo Pro, which costs £2.99 a month or £24.99 a year and also covers recipe imports, Ask Hugo and supermarket price matching. See the pricing page for details.
