Switching from Mealime? Keep your one-list weekly shop.

Mealime has said it will shut down on October 21, 2026. Mendu plans a week of quick, budget-minded meals for your whole household, then turns it into one grocery list for one weekly trip, at any store you choose. No grocery chain behind us.

What carries over, and what's better

  • One combined list, any store: exact amounts in real package sizes, sorted by aisle; print, copy or share it.
  • Cooking for more than 6? Every recipe is sized for 1 to 8+, with kids' portions and picky-eater mode.
  • Breakfast, lunch and dinner: 3 options each (ready in 5 / 10 / 20 minutes on the day; some are made ahead on your prep day), and every recipe checked against our time limits and nutrition rules.
  • Nutrition on every recipe with no upgrade needed: values are estimates from USDA FoodData Central data, some from product labels.
  • Your data is yours: download favorites, past weeks and lists (PDF/CSV/JSON) anytime.

What Mendu doesn't do yet (honestly)

  • No iPhone/Android app yet. It runs in the phone browser; add it to your home screen.
  • No Instacart button. Print, copy or share your list.
  • A smaller library than Mealime's: "1,400+ recipes today".
  • No Paleo or Low Carb plan yet. Flexitarian users start on the everything-goes plan with more vegetarian nights.

Shop at Safeway?

Shop at Safeway? Meals Hub inside the Safeway app is free and carries Mealime's recipes. If that's where you shop, it may be all you need. Mendu is for households that shop at Foodland, Times, Costco, Walmart or anywhere else, or that want breakfast and lunch planned too.

FAQ

Is Mendu part of Mealime?

No. It's an independent meal planner from Kailua, Hawaiʻi, not affiliated with Mealime or Albertsons.

Can you import my Mealime account?

No one can. Mealime hasn't offered an export and says personal data will be deleted at shutdown. Paste favorite names or links above and we'll match them to similar Mendu recipes. Save your favorites before October 21.

Will my grocery list work like Mealime's?

Yes: one combined list with amounts, sorted by aisle, with a check-off for what you already have, plus real package sizes.

What happens after 14 days?

The first bill is 40% off with SWITCH40, then the regular price. Cancel anytime in one click.

Can my partner use it too?

You can share or copy the list today.

Does it work in Hawaiʻi?

Yes, it was built in Kailua; cost estimates use Honolulu-area averages (estimates only).

Is this medical advice?

No. This is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for care from your doctor or a registered dietitian.
