thisweek is a free lifestyle tool that makes meal planning and grocery shopping easier. When you find a recipe you like online, you can simply drop the link, and it automatically creates a shopping list from it. It also sorts items into categories based on where you might find them in the grocery store.

Easier grocery shopping for groups

With thisweek, you can share shopping lists with family or friends, and everyone can keep track of it. It’s useful for preparing for a potluck or simply planning everyday meals at home. Everyone can tick off the items they’re bringing, so it’s easier to see what’s already covered and what’s still needed.

When preparing several recipes, it can also combine quantities for the same ingredient, so you don’t have to calculate the total yourself. However, the automatic recipe extraction isn’t always perfect. Some online recipes may be difficult for the tool to interpret, particularly when the formatting is unusual or confusing. You’ll still want to check the generated list for accuracy.

A convenient meal planning companion

Overall, thisweek is a useful option if you regularly plan meals or shop for ingredients based on online recipes. Automatically creating and combining shopping lists can save quite a bit of time, while the sharing features make group meal planning easier. Just make sure to double-check imported recipes.
