Build a meal plan and shopping cart

They used ChatGPT and Instacart to make a 5-day menu and load the ingredients into a checkout-ready cart.

Done with ChatGPT· Beginner· Jul 2023

What they did
They turned on GPT-4 and the Instacart plugin in ChatGPT Plus, then asked for a five-day meal plan based on their preferred cuisines with no fish, no pork, eggs at breakfast, and no fried dishes. After the first version leaned too much on their top three cuisines, they asked for more variety and then requested recipes. At the end, they had the plugin gather the ingredients into an Instacart list that opened as a link.
How it went
The agent produced a meal plan plus a shopping list that was ready to review before checkout. The first pass needed another prompt to widen the menu choices, but no cost or time numbers were given.
Tips
Check the cart for ingredients you already have, change quantities, and swap out brands before buying. If you do not have Plus, ask for a category-organized shopping list instead.
