Project Suppa - Automating Grocery Lists
We make all1 of our meals at home. With busy weeknights, it requires a lot of planning2. One step of the process that I find particularly tedious is taking the ingredient lists from each of the ~8-10 recipes and combining them into a single shopping list. To save time at the store, I like the single shopping list 1) to have the same item combined, i.e. 6 garlic cloves instead of 2 garlic cloves repeated 3 times and 2) to be sorted by aisle so I can do one loop through the store3.
Project Suppa automates this step to save me 15 minutes every week and avoid that annoying trip back to the store because I made a goof when combining my list.
Just paste the ingredients lists from your recipes into left text entry box and out will pop the combined, sorted shopping list4 on the right. Maybe this tool will save you some time too!
[EDIT - 2025-07-31] The model is now 8-bit quantized reducing the model size to 40mb.
[EDIT - 2025-07-21] There's a handy copy button on the top right on the list!.
[EDIT - 2025-06-06] I retrained the model using outputs from Gemini 2.5 Flash.

1. Ok, well, not all but almost all. We get bagels once a week for breakfast and reserve a day for leftovers or takeout.
2. Maybe more on our comprehensive (some would say ridiculous) planning process later.
3. Ya, I still shop for groceries in person, at least for perishables. I like to see which produce is fresh and fragrant.
4. Ok, it's not quite perfect yet, but it still saves me some time.
