Dishcount's answer
Dishcount is the only tool that combines real-time weekly ad deals from 80+ grocery chains with AI-powered recipe generation. Most meal planners start with recipes and hope the ingredients fit your budget. Dishcount flips that โ it starts with what's actually on sale at your local stores this week and builds personalized meals around those deals. It also lets you add items you already have at home so the AI uses those first, maximizing your savings.
Dishcount's answer
Node.js and Express for the backend, vanilla JavaScript for the frontend, Supabase (PostgreSQL) for the database, Anthropic Claude AI for recipe generation and weekly ad OCR extraction, Kroger API for live pricing and cart integration, Spoonacular for recipe data, Google Places for store discovery, and Render for hosting. Built entirely using Claude as a coding partner with no prior development experience.
Dishcount's answer
I'm a Dad from Dayton, Ohio who was tired of the same Sunday night routine โ flipping through multiple grocery store weekly ads, trying to figure out what's on sale, and then struggling to turn those deals into meals my family would actually eat. I looked for a tool that would do this automatically and couldn't find one. So I built it myself using AI as my coding partner, despite having zero coding experience. 60 days and $400 later, Dishcount was born. It started as a tool to make my own life easier and turned into something I think every budget-conscious family could use.
Dishcount's answer
Budget-conscious families and home cooks who want to save money on groceries without sacrificing meal quality. People who already check weekly ads but hate the time it takes to flip through multiple stores and figure out what to cook. Parents feeding families on a tight budget, meal preppers looking to cut costs, and anyone who wants to eat well for less.
Dishcount's answer
Most grocery apps show you deals. Most recipe apps show you recipes. Dishcount is the only free tool that connects the two โ pulling live weekly sales from 80+ chains and generating recipes built around what's actually cheap near you this week. No subscription, no ads, no account required to start. Plus, it prioritizes items you already have at home and Kroger family store shoppers can add ingredients to their cart in one tap. Competitors like Flipp only show deals. Apps like Mealime only plan meals. Dishcount does both in one place.
