Estimate from your answers, UK food prices and the gap Which? measured at Tesco.

The same week at 8 supermarkets

For the same dinners, about £6 a week between Aldi and Waitrose.

  • Your supermarket. Eight of them, from Aldi to Waitrose, each at the price gap Which? measured in September 2026.

  • UK prices. Dinner costs brought to UK food price levels (World Bank) and UK food inflation (ONS).

  • In the app. Prices are worked out for France only: in the UK, YouCook plans your week and your list without prices.

An estimate, not a receipt: World Bank ICP 2021 food price levels, ONS food inflation to September 2026, supermarket gaps from Which? at standard prices. Salt, spices and condiments aren't counted. Co-op isn't in Which?'s survey. YouCook isn't affiliated with any supermarket.

How it works

From “what are we eating?” to a shopping list.

  1. 1

    Describe your week.

    How many of you there are, how many nights you cook, where you shop and what you want to spend.

  2. 2

    See your dinners.

    Every dinner shows its price per portion. Don't fancy one? Swap it and the week is re-⁠priced.

  3. 3

    One list for the shop.

    Everything for the week, quantities added up, sorted by aisle from fresh to frozen. Tick things off as you go.

Example priced by the YouCook price engine on 25 October 2026: 5 dinners for 2 adults and 1 child at Super U, in Loire-Atlantique. The week comes to about €23 on a €35 budget.

Built for real weeks

A plan that fits the week you have.

Rushed evenings, recipes saved for later, someone who shops with you. YouCook works around all of it, so the list you carry is the one you need.

Your recipes first.

The ones you saved on TikTok, Instagram or recipe sites come before the catalogue.

Don't fancy a dinner?

Swap it with one tap. YouCook picks another that fits what's left of the budget.

Want a fresh week?

“Redo my dinners” replaces the ones still ahead, from today on.

Sorted by aisle.

Fresh to frozen, in the order of a store. Quantities for the whole week add up.

Change anything later.

Household, postcode, store, budget: change them in settings, and the week is priced again straight away.

A list you can share.

Send it by message to whoever shops with you.

On the App Store

In their own words.

Great app that makes life easier

“I really can't be bothered to cook when I get home from work, and even less to choose what to cook. Yet I always save recipes in apps! […] A real Netflix catalogue, but for recipes.”
gaetansouchet · App Store review

Questions

Questions, answered.

Do I need to cook every night?

No. Tell YouCook how many nights you cook, and the week and the list follow.

Are the prices exact?

They're estimates. YouCook starts from published average prices (Insee, Open Prices), then applies your chain's gap and your department's price level. This week's offers aren't counted, and your receipt will differ a little. Close enough to decide, not to the cent.

Do I have to type in my recipes?

No. YouCook fills your week with the recipes you've saved and with everyday classics. Import yours from TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, Facebook and most recipe sites, or write them by hand.

Can the person I shop with use it too?

Send them the shopping list by message from the Groceries tab. The plan itself stays on your account.

Does it work outside France?

Prices are worked out for mainland France. Elsewhere, and in the overseas departments for now, YouCook plans your week and your list without prices.

Where does my data live?

Your postcode and your answers stay on your phone. Your recipes are tied to your account so you can find them again. The details are in the privacy policy.

What does it cost?

YouCook is free to download. To use everything without limits there's YouCook Premium, monthly or yearly, with a free trial. If you like, we'll remind you before the trial ends, and you cancel in your Apple account settings.

What about Android?

Not yet. YouCook is available on iPhone and iPad.

This week's dinners, settled in one tap.
