The recipe app with supermarket prices

Why it matters

The same shop costs different amounts in different places

Ingredient prices vary a lot between UK supermarkets, and working out which one is cheapest for this week's meals usually means opening five websites and a spreadsheet. Most people understandably do not bother.

YoHugo does the comparison for you, starting from the recipes you actually plan to cook rather than a list of individual products.

How it works

Every recipe is price checked

When you save or create a recipe, Hugo works out an estimated cost for each ingredient across Aldi, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury's. You can see the cheapest way to shop for a recipe before you commit to making it.

That applies to recipes from anywhere: ones you have imported from TikTok or Instagram, pages scanned from a cookbook, and recipes Hugo has written for you.

Your whole shop

Compare your shopping list at each supermarket

Recipes are only part of it. Add ingredients to your shopping list and YoHugo compares what is on the list at each supermarket, so you can find the best deal for the whole shop and not just one meal.

Pair it with the meal planner and shopping list to price a full week of dinners in one go.

Be realistic

What the prices are, and what they are not

We would rather be straight about this. The prices in YoHugo are estimates, not a live feed from each supermarket's till. They are there to help you compare and budget, and they will not always match the shelf price on the day.

Use them as a guide to which shop is likely to be cheapest, then check the real prices before you buy. The full disclaimer is below.

More than a price checker

A recipe app first

Price comparison is a bonus on top of a full recipe app. YoHugo saves recipes from social media, websites and cookbooks, keeps them as clean recipe cards and has a cook mode that shows one step at a time. Read the overview on YoHugo, the UK recipe app.
