Dishcount
Turn local grocery store deals into personalized meals
Stop overpaying for groceries. Dishcount pulls weekly sales from 80+ stores like Kroger, ALDI, Walmart, and Publix, all in one place. Enter your ZIP, pick your stores, select the deals you want, and our AI builds personalized recipes around what's on sale this week and your food preferences. For even more savings, add items you already have and the AI will use those first when generating recipes. Dishcount is 100% free, has no ads, and was built with one goal: help families eat better for less.
Hey Product Hunt! I'm Bill, a dad from Dayton, Ohio with zero coding experience.
I came up with the idea of Dishcount because I would sit down every Sunday night and flip through multiple grocery store weekly ads trying to match what's on sale with types of recipes I know my family enjoys. This was a time consuming process and I knew there had to be an easier way to do that. After searching for solutions and coming up empty, I decided to jump right in and make it myself using AI as my coding partner.
60 days and about $400 later, Dishcount was born. You enter your zip code, pick your local stores, and it pulls all their weekly deals into one place. You can pick what items you want from each store and then it generates personalized recipes using your selected items and whatever you already have at home. It even builds your shopping list and can add items to your Kroger cart in one tap.
The whole thing runs on Node.js, Supabase, Claude AI for reading weekly ad circulars, and the Kroger API for live pricing. It costs me $17/month to operate.
I'd love your honest feedback. What's confusing, what's broken, what would make you actually use this every week? I'm here to answer questions and fix things in real time. Thanks!
I like how this flips meal planning on its head. Most people don’t plan first, they shop based on deals anyway.
What made you start with this idea?
Genius idea! Meal planning around what's already on sale is how my grandma did it. Does it handle dietary restrictions?
Thanks! I'd love to expand to other countries. My goals are to help as many people as possible save money on groceries and make meal planning easier.
This is a great idea, congratulations on the launch! Do you have any plans to expand to other countries? Feeling jealous over here in the UK haha!
