Weeknight dinners, on budget

Five dinners. One list. Under budget.

ForkCast plans your week around your store, your pantry and the number you set. Then it prices every item on the list before you shop.

Shop at Publix, Walmart, Costco & more. Approve your dinners and every item on your list links straight to your store.
How it works

Three questions, then dinner is handled.

What's inside

Built for the week, not just the recipe.

Built for your store

Your list, ready for your store.

ForkCast sorts your list by aisle, keeps a running total against your budget, and links each item to your store online, whether that’s Publix, Costco and Aldi through Instacart, or Walmart. Headed to Trader Joe’s? Take the list with you.

Any cuisine

Recipes with every step written out

Mexican on Tuesday, Indian on Friday. Every dinner comes with full prep steps, temperatures and times, not just an ingredient list.

Pantry-aware

Pays only for what you don't have

Rice and garlic already in the cupboard never hit the total. Leftover cilantro from Tuesday becomes Friday's garnish.

Swaps

Not feeling it? Trade it out

Swap any dinner for something cheaper, faster or from a different cuisine. The list and total update on the spot.

Your rules

Diets and dislikes, respected

Gluten-free, no pork, kids who won't touch mushrooms. Set it once and every plan follows it.

Cook mode

Big steps. Real timers. Your changes.

  • One step at a timeLarge text you can read from the stove, with swipe or tap to move on.
  • Timers built from the recipe"Roast 15 minutes" becomes a 15:00 timer you can pause or nudge.
  • Adjust as you goScale servings, or ask for "no oven" or "make it spicier" and the recipe rewrites itself.
Questions

Good to know

Where do the prices come from?

Prices are estimates, adjusted for your store and your area. After you shop, tell ForkCast what you actually paid and it tunes future prices for that store. Your store shows the real total before you pay.

Which stores does it work with?

We’re starting in Tampa Bay and Central Florida with Publix, Walmart, Costco, Aldi and Trader Joe’s. ForkCast isn’t affiliated with these stores or with Instacart. It links you to their own sites, where you shop with your own account.

Can I change the dinners it picks?

Yes. Swap any dinner for a cheaper, faster or different one, or rebuild the whole week. In cook mode you can rewrite a recipe to fit what you have.

How do I get access?

ForkCast is in a private beta. Request access and we'll email you an invite code. Open eforkcast.com/app on your phone or computer, enter the code, and start planning. No other account needed.

Does it plan weekends?

Yes, if you want it to. Plans start with five weeknight dinners, since weekends are often eating out or leftovers. Flip on "Include the weekend", or tap the exact nights you want. Weekend dinners get more time and can be a little special.

Does it work outside the US?

Not yet. Pricing and store coverage are US-only for now.
