About Actually Cooked
Delivery is quietly draining your bank account. Actually Cooked shows you exactly how much — and turns that $24 order into a meal you can make at home for a fraction of the price. HOW IT WORKS 1. Screenshot your order in any food delivery app (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and more). 2. Share it to Actually Cooked — two taps from the share sheet. 3. Instantly see the comparison: what that meal costs delivered vs. what it costs to cook, plus a full recipe and grocery list. 4. Send the ingredients to your grocery cart, cook it, and watch your savings add up. No typing, no searching. Prefer another way in? Upload a screenshot from your camera roll, or just type a dish name. SEE THE REAL COST Every recipe breaks down the math: the delivery range you'd have paid, the cost to cook it at home, and exactly how much you save per meal — with real grocery prices when you connect a store, or smart regional estimates anywhere. GROCERIES IN ONE TAP Don't just get the recipe — get the groceries. Send your whole ingredient list straight to your grocery cart and check out for pickup or delivery, without retyping a single item. (Grocery ordering and live prices work with Kroger-family stores — Kroger, Fred Meyer, Ralphs, QFC, King Soopers and more.) A SMARTER GROCERY LIST Ingredients are sorted into what to buy, pantry staples you already have, signature spices, and grab-and-go items. Check off what's already in your kitchen and every price updates instantly. Or copy the list to shop any store, your way. COOK IT YOUR WAY Tell us how you like to cook — keep it easy with smart shortcuts, or make everything from scratch — and your recipes adapt. Scale servings up or down and every price moves with it. BUILD THE HABIT Actually Cooked isn't really about recipes. It's about the habit. Track your total saved, your savings this month, and your cooking streaks, and unlock milestones as you go. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Screenshots are read right on your device — the image never leaves your phone. Your recipes and savings are stored locally. No account required. No tracking. MEMBERSHIP Your first 2 recipes are free. Actually Cooked Pro unlocks unlimited recipe generation: - Monthly: $3.99 per month - Annual: $29.99 per year Everything else — savings tracking, grocery cart, recipe history — is always included.
