After selecting a price point ranging from $5 to $25, the app will then reveal various meal ideas that fit your exact budget. You can run the tool as many times as you like until a combination you're interested comes up. You can also set the app to vegetarian so it will only show you meat-free options. While the meal is great for helping consumers stick to a budget, it's also a fun way to select your next meal if you're feeling indecisive.
