The cheapest sane grocery list for your week.
Tell Shelter what you can spend and where you shop. It turns sales, coupons, pantry basics, and store friction into a grocery run that protects your budget without making your week miserable.

Not a meal planner
A grocery operator for real budgets.
Start with the money
Shelter begins with what you can actually spend this week, not a random meal plan that ignores your month.
Use your real stores
Pick the places you already shop. Shelter weighs sale prices against the hassle of another stop.
Protect the week
The output is a list, a route, a buffer, and the “not worth it” deals to skip.
