Meal planning just hooked up with your local grocery store
There's plenty of websites where you can go check out this week's grocery sales, if you're into that sort of thing. (Not judging, just, um, snore.) And we've reviewed plenty of websites and apps to help you do your weekly meal planning, too. But this is the first we've seen of a glorious melding of the two.
At Food on the Table, you enter some basic information like your family's food preferences, plus your preferred grocery stores, and then not only can you then pick from amongst suggested recipes, it'll highlight items on sale this week with approximate savings for your meal plan.
Plan up to three dinners a week for free, or buy a monthly subscription to plan all seven, plus get access to more recipes and other features.

The idea here is sheer brilliance, but the site is pretty new, so I'm hopeful it will expand as time goes on. I'd love to see my local Trader Joe's as one of the store options (hint, hint!), as well as a setting for food allergies--the food preferences don't currently enable you to communicate that common add-on ingredients such as dairy or wheat might not work for your family. All in all, though, this is a great alternative to juggling cookbooks and store circulars. -Mir
