Use case overview

The author used ChatGPT with the Instacart plugin to build a daily meal plan and put the ingredients into a ready-to-order shopping list.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    With GPT-4 and the Instacart plugin enabled in ChatGPT Plus, the author prompted for a 5-day plan using his cuisine likes, no fish or pork, eggs for breakfast and no fried food. He asked for more variety, then for recipes. Finally he had the plugin build an Instacart list, which opened as a link with the items loaded.

  2. How it went

    It produced a meal plan and a shopping list ready to check out. The first draft leaned too heavily on his three favorite cuisines and needed a follow-up prompt. He doesn't give cost or time figures.

  3. Worth knowing

    Plugins needed ChatGPT Plus at $20/month. Check the list for items you already own, adjust quantities, and swap brands before ordering. Without Plus, ask for a list sorted by category instead.

Example prompts
