How this works

Spoon Simple recommends published recipes using meal time, ingredients, and your priorities. It reuses overlapping groceries where practical, but recipe suggestions are not optimized against live retailer pricing and cannot guarantee a spending limit or specific dietary needs. The final Instacart cart and checkout are controlled by the selected retailer and Instacart.
