Like many families today, we’re feeling the pinch of rising grocery costs. This week, I decided to test something new: using AI to help plan my grocery shopping. The challenge? Create an entire weekly meal plan, including breakfast, lunches, dinners, snacks, and drinks for my family of four, all within a $250 budget—and only using sale items from Save Mart’s weekly ad.

The AI quickly analyzed the weekly flyer, identified the best deals, and built a balanced grocery list packed with proteins, fresh fruits, veggies, and even treats. I ended up with a variety of tasty meals—from Grilled Salmon with Bok Choy to Chicken Avocado Tacos, all at an average cost of just $3.46 per meal!

Who knew budgeting could be this easy (and tasty)? AI isn’t just futuristic tech; it’s a practical tool helping my family save money and eat healthier every day.
