💡 How to cut your grocery bill without cutting quality
This week I changed one small habit — and it paid off.
Instead of starting with recipes or cravings, I flipped the process.
Here’s the system I used:
1️⃣ Pull up the weekly grocery ad
2️⃣ Attach it to The Family Executive Chef
3️⃣ Ask for meals built only from what’s already on sale
The results:
✔️ Restaurant-quality meals
✔️ Lower grocery spend
✔️ Less food waste
✔️ Zero decision fatigue at the store
The insight most people miss:
We overspend on groceries not because food is expensive —
but because we plan meals before we look at discounts.
That’s a process problem.
When sales drive the menu, savings happen automatically.
If you want to try it yourself, copy this prompt:
“Plan a 5-day meal plan for ___ people using the sale items from the attached weekly grocery ad. Prioritize ingredient reuse, minimize waste, and keep meals practical.”
You can add constraints like:
• Budget-focused
• Keto / gluten-free / family-friendly
• Fast weeknights or elevated weekend meals
Same ingredients.
Better system.
Better outcomes.
This is exactly why I built The Family Executive Chef — not to cook for you, but to help you think differently about everyday decisions.
Curious how others are using AI beyond work to simplify life and save money. 👀
