For the one who keeps buying rice

Stop buying the rice you already have.

OurKitchen tracks pantry staples week to week with shelf-life counters, so the list only asks for what you're actually missing.

Three bottles of soy sauce and no idea how.

A grocery list generated from recipes assumes an empty kitchen every single week. So you re-buy the olive oil, the rice and the cornstarch, and the cupboard slowly fills with duplicates you paid for.

How OurKitchen handles it

Staples carry forward

Each tracked staple has a counter for how many more weeks of use it has. At zero it returns to the list; until then it stays off.

It depletes by actual use

Counters drop by the number of meals that used the item this week — not a flat one — so the pantry reflects what you actually cooked.

Quantities combine across meals

Three dinners needing a pound of chicken produce one three-pound line, not three separate reminders.

You stay in control

Bought something yourself, or ran out early? Adjust any counter by hand in Meal preferences.

Real output, not a mockup

Questions

Do I have to inventory my kitchen first?

No. Generate your first week, then tell it the few staples you almost always have. It builds from there.

What if it's wrong about something?

The list says which items it left off and why, so you can double-check before you shop. Nothing is hidden.

Does this work at any store?

Yes. The list is plain groceries grouped by aisle, and you can save your own store's aisle order once.

Try it on your own household.

Three questions, no account, and you'll see real dinners and the list that goes with them.
