Kai Pai · meal plan and shopping list
One plan. One list. One shop a week.
Most meal plans leave you with half a bunch of coriander and a fridge full of things you bought for one recipe. Kai Pai's weekly plan is built around a single shop, and the shopping list is made straight from it – every ingredient, every portion, nothing extra.
- One shop covers the week
- Less food thrown out

How the week is built
Planned for the shop, not just the plate
Ingredients that get used up
Breakfast and lunch alternate between two meals, and seven dinners share four proteins – so nothing is bought for one meal and left to spoil.
A list that matches the plan
Every ingredient for the week, with amounts for everyone eating – made straight from the plan, not typed out by you.
Swaps are on the list too
Swap a meal for one person and the list adds whatever that swap needs.
A pantry check
Spices and sauces sit on their own list, so you only buy what's run out.

Questions
Good to know
Is the shopping list free?
It's part of Kai Pai Plus – $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year (NZD), with a 7-day free trial. Week 1 of the meal plan and its recipes, weigh-ins and check-ins are free.
What if someone swaps a meal?
The list adds whatever the swap needs, so it always matches what you're actually cooking.
Do I have to buy spices every week?
No. Spices and sauces are a separate pantry check – you only buy what's run out.
Does it work on my phone in the supermarket?
Yes – it runs in your phone's browser, and you can add it to your home screen like any other app.
