My $50 AI meal planner subscription was a total waste

I signed up for one of those AI meal planning apps last month. It was supposed to create custom menus based on what you have in your fridge. Cost me $50 for a monthly subscription. After three days I realized it kept suggesting recipes with ingredients I never buy, like quinoa and kale. I work 12 hour shifts at the restaurant kitchen and I don't have time to hunt down specialty items. The app also didn't account for leftovers or repurposing food from the night before. I stuck with it for two weeks hoping it would learn my habits but it never got better. Has anyone else tried these AI meal planners and found one that actually works for real people?

Read an article saying these apps really only work for people with huge pantries and tons of free time.

Ryan, sounds like you read that article I saw too. My buddy paid for one of those apps and it kept telling him to cook with truffle oil and he lives on hot dogs and frozen pizza, total waste of money.
