Plan weekly dinners, then fill a store cart for you to review and pay
Overview
An Agents Handbook prompt that plans a set number of dinners around your household, dietary rules, budget and pantry contents. It pauses for approval of the menu and again for the aisle-sorted shopping list, then adds the list to your store's cart without choosing substitutes on its own. It ends with a cart table compared against the list and stops before checkout so you pay yourself. It spends money, so review every cart line and pay yourself.

Plan [5] dinners for [2 adults and 1 child] for the week of [date]. Rules: [no pork, no fish, one vegetarian night, each dinner under 45 minutes on weekdays]. Budget for the whole shop: [USD 120]. Store: [my local store name and ZIP code]. Already in my kitchen (do not buy): [rice, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, eggs, pasta]. Step 1. Give me the 5 dinners in a table: name, main ingredients, cooking time, and which ingredients are shared with other nights. Reuse ingredients across nights to cut waste. STOP and wait for me to approve or swap dinners. Step 2. Make one combined shopping list grouped by aisle. For each line give the amount the recipes need and the pack size you plan to buy. Leave out everything I already have. Show an estimated total, and mark any price you did not see on the store's site as "estimate". STOP and wait for me to approve the list. Step 3. Add the approved list to my cart at [store]. Use my store and ZIP code. Choose the closest match in the pack size I approved. If an item is out of stock, do not pick a substitute yourself: list it for me. Set substitutions to [ask me / do not substitute]. Step 4. Show me the full cart as a table (item, size, quantity, price) and the cart total, and compare it with the approved list. Point out anything added, missing or doubled. STOP before checkout. Do not choose a delivery slot, enter an address or pay. I will do that myself.
