What it really costs to run your house.
Scan every grocery receipt and every bill — rent, utilities, all of it — and PlatePantry keeps one honest number: what this home costs, and where it can cost less. The numbers below are Sample Data for a household like this one.

Price spikes, bills coming due, and money on the table.
This week's basket, three ways Sample Data
Sample Data: your regular items priced at Aldi, Stop & Shop and Walmart. Full item-by-item breakdown is under Store Prices.
Scan a receipt or a bill
Take a photo of any grocery receipt or household bill. The text is read on this device, line by line — then you review every line before anything is saved.
JPG or PNG. Blurry receipts read worse — flat and well-lit works best.
Review before it counts
Fix names, quantities and prices. Nothing reaches your pantry or your totals until you confirm.
Nothing waiting. Scan a receipt, try the sample, or add a line by hand below.

Aldi vs Stop & Shop vs Walmart Sample Data
Sample Data: your weekly staples, priced at all three. The cheapest price for each item is highlighted — and the split-shop total shows what you'd pay buying each item where it's cheapest.
Recipes from what you buy Sample Data
Sample Data costs: the six sample recipes are built from your regular items and scaled to feed your household — or make your own below and cost it at any of the three stores. Pantry marks show what you already have.
Make a recipe
Name it, add ingredients from your regular staples (or a custom ingredient with its own price), and it costs itself out as you go — total, per serving, and scaled to your household. Everything is priced with Sample Data.
The pantry Sample Data
Sample Data to start. Fills itself from your receipts. Levels are estimates from what you scanned minus a normal week of cooking — adjust any item with the steppers as you use things up.
Fitness — the plate behind the shopping Sample Data
Sample Data: what the household eats, turned into a simple nutrition picture from the same weekly basket, pantry and recipes used everywhere else in this demo. This is a description of what is in the basket — not health advice.
What we eat
The weekly basket at Aldi prices, grouped. Each group's share is its share of the weekly basket spend.
Per person, per day
Sample Data estimates derived from the basket and scaled to your household above — adults at a full portion, kids at 60% of an adult portion, the same math the recipes use.
Nutrition figures are Sample Data from published sources — standard nutrition references on the web and in books for foods like these. They describe this sample basket only.
Where this comes from
In the full version, this picture is built from what the household actually buys — the bank account, scanned receipts, and receipts that arrive by email — so the plate follows the real shopping. Here, it runs on Sample Data instead: the same demo basket, pantry and recipes you can see in the other tabs. Change the household size on the Home tab and the per-person figures here follow it.
Recipes — per serving Sample Data
Sample Data: the same recipes from the Recipes tab, with estimated calories and protein for one serving of your household's scaled batch.
Overhead — the cost of the house itself
Sample Data
Sample Data: rent, utilities, the lot. Scan a bill under Scan, or add one here.

Sample Data: all figures in this public version are Sample Data, derived from published sources on the web and in books for a household of this size. They are not any real person's data.
In the private version, your own figures replace them and are labeled “My Data.” Scan your own receipts in your private copy and every number becomes My Data.
