more than 8,000 exclusive recipes, shoppable ingredient lists and
hands-free cooking mode with step-by-step timer. The Meal Plans
tool offers thousands of recipes spanning breakfast, lunch, dinner
and dessert that can be filtered by dietary preference, food
restrictions and serving size, as well as omitting an ingredient
that may not be a family favorite. (Photo: Business Wire)
“This all-in-one tool empowers the everyday home cook to plan,
shop and prepare inspiring recipes without the added expense or
commitment of a meal delivery service,” said Jill Pavlovich, SVP of
Digital Customer Experience for Albertsons Cos. “Our Meal Plans
tool offers greater versatility as price-conscious families can
plan a week’s worth of flavorful meals based on their budget. Best
of all, it’s free to use on our grocery app and website.”
The Meal Plans tool offers thousands of recipes spanning
breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert that can be filtered by
dietary preference, food restrictions and serving size, as well as
omitting an ingredient that may not be a family favorite.
New recipes are added to the Meal Plans and Recipes tool each
month so shoppers can enjoy seasonal variety in meals such as Pear
& Pecan Ricotta Toast, Parsnip-Apple Soup with Grilled
Prosciutto & Blue Cheese Sandwich or Grilled Pork Quinoa Bowl
with Apple, Grapes & Goat Cheese for fall.
Recent digital enhancements to the Meal Plans tool also
include:
- A budget tracker that allows customers to specify a
total weekly budget, a total number of meals and total number of
servings ahead of recipe selection. As recipes are added to the
Meal Plans tool, the cost of ingredients is deducted from the
overall budget so shoppers can view the total meal price and cost
per serving.
- Cooking mode makes time in the kitchen clean and easy to
execute. Once the groceries are home and meal prep begins, users
can simply wave their hand over each step of the recipe to advance
to the next page, keeping the phone or tablet screen free of a
sticky mess. Cooking mode also includes a built-in timer to keep
the cook on track.
Once shoppers choose one or more recipes, one simple click will
consolidate all the ingredients to their “My List” shopping list,
which can be modified to include other household essentials. Users
can then view available deals or clip digital coupons applicable to
any items in their cart before checkout.
Grocery orders can be picked up at the nearest store or
delivered straight to the doorstep in as little as 30 minutes. For
those who prefer shopping in person at their local store, shopping
lists can be sorted by aisle number or product category for a fast
and convenient in-store experience.
“We designed the Meal Plans tool to also help our customers
reduce food waste by choosing the right amount of food they need
each week. We introduced this innovative feature to our recipe
search engine so it will automatically optimize ingredients across
multiple meals. For example, if two recipes call for half of an
onion, only one onion will be added to your shopping list,”
Pavlovich added.
