Family Meal Planner turns a week of meals into the right groceries for the people actually eating. Planning dinners takes ten minutes, but turning the plan into a grocery list takes an hour of guessing how much chicken feeds two adults and two kids, spotting shared ingredients and remembering pack sizes, and that arithmetic is where overbuying and second trips come from. You set who is eating (adults, younger kids, teenagers), pick meals from a family library or type any meal in plain words, and the other adults approve the plan by email. The app then works out exact quantities, merges shared ingredients, rounds up to real pack sizes, keeps pantry staples home, shows the math on every line and hands the list to the family's Instacart cart. Checkout stays in Instacart; the app never places or pays for an order. All code was written during the hackathon, starting 10/30/26; the README's Prior work section covers what came before.
