Plan before you purchase. Look through your cupboards, fridge and freezer and ask one simple question: how many complete days could you feed everyone breakfast, lunch and dinner from the food you already have? The planner then shows how many additional meals you may need for your target.
Choose a target from three days to a year, or enter your own number of days. If preparing for a power cut, separately consider how much food remains usable without dependable refrigeration or cooking. This is a practical meal-count estimate, not a nutritional prescription or a guarantee of food safety.
FOOD YOU HAVE. MEALS YOU NEED.
How many days could you feed everyone?
Look in your cupboards, fridge and freezer. If you had to feed every person breakfast, lunch and dinner from food already at home, how many complete days could you manage? That's your starting point. No calorie counting, prices or product knowledge needed.

Make a shopping list for the meals you are missing
Choose meal ideas your household actually eats. We will split your missing breakfasts, lunches and dinners across those choices, and list their usual ingredients. Pack sizes, actual portions, allergens, prices, shelf life and suitability must be checked by you. The list is a starting point—not a complete diet or an automatic shopping basket.
Start with affordable foods you know and use. Specialist long-life meals are only worth considering for a specific verified advantage. This tool does not know current prices or Go Prepare stock, and stores nothing.
