The Inflation Cookbook uses AI to track grocery prices and serve up cost-conscious recipes

Last month, we featured The Yellow Sticker Cookbook, a British app that helps shoppers find recipes for foods they've found marked down in their local supermarket. Now, a food delivery service has launched Canada's first Inflation Cookbook.

SkipTheDishes worked with Dentsu Creative Canada to help people source affordable, nutritious food and maximize their grocery budgets by keeping tabs on over 400 items at more than 80 locations nationwide. On the platform, users first select their province, household size and weekly grocery budget.

Based on real-time price data, the cookbook highlights ten items with significant price reductions, such as a 20% drop for cheddar or 13% for russet potatoes. Next, the Inflation Cookbook displays seven recipes that incorporate those ingredients to make meal planning accessible and convenient. The recipes are generated with the help of AI and curated by human chefs and nutritionists.
