Student dinner for a real budget and kitchen.
Set the budget, equipment and time you actually have. FeastCal compares realistic portions and keeps useful leftovers visible instead of assuming a stocked family kitchen.
Cheap recipes assume costly basics.
A “budget” meal may rely on a full spice rack, freezer space, several pans or buying family packs that will not get used.
- 3 pans
- 8 pantry staples
- Family-size pack
Price the kitchen you have.
Count current Pantry food, available equipment, full checkout cost and the next plausible use for each leftover ingredient.
- 1 hob
- £4.80 checkout
- Leftovers planned
Budget and kitchen stay together.
- The recipe assumes every cupboard staple → Only recorded Pantry food is counted
- The kitchen has one free hob → Equipment limits remove impossible meals
- Bulk looks cheap but becomes waste → Pack cost and next use stay visible
From timetable to affordable plate.
- Set budget and equipment
- Check today’s timetable
- Compare real baskets
- Plan the leftover once
