Invite-only beta

Cook what's actually on sale this week.

Circular Chef reads the grocery flyers for your zip code and builds recipes around the items that are genuinely discounted right now — with the price and the store attached, so you know what a meal costs before you leave the house.

How it works

Three things happen before you ever open the app.

1

The flyers get read

Every week we pull the current circulars for the supermarkets that serve your zip code, down to the individual item, its price, and the dates the deal actually runs.

2

Recipes get built around them

Each recipe is anchored on a real sale item — a cut of meat, a vegetable, a cheese — rather than written first and matched to coupons afterwards.

3

You pick a store

Tell it where you shop and the list reorders around that store's ad. Anything cheaper nearby still shows up, so you can compare instead of guessing.

What's inside

Built for the trip you were going to make anyway.

Real prices, named stores

Every ingredient says what it costs and where. Tap it for the full deal, including when the sale ends and whether it's in-store only.

Compare across stores

When several supermarkets carry the same ingredient, you see the spread rather than one arbitrary pick.

Sales that haven't started yet

Deals are grouped by whether they're live now or opening in a few days, so you can plan a shop for the weekend.

Tuned to your taste

Like and dislike ingredients and recipes get scored against them, so the list drifts toward food you'd actually cook.

Check the original ad

Every deal links straight out to the published circular on Flipp, so you can see the supermarket's own listing for yourself.

Save what you like

Favourite the good ones, hide the ones that miss, and scale any recipe to the number of people you're feeding.
