Plan a gluten-free week of Trader Joe's meals on $125 with ChatGPT

Our rewrite with extra checks. The poster didn't test it.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to.

Goal: Plan a week of meals for my diet with a store-specific shopping list that's realistic on price and complete.

Fill in before running:
- Who's eating: [NUMBER OF PEOPLE, AGES]
- Days and meals to cover: [e.g. Mon–Fri breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks]
- Weekly budget: [AMOUNT] at [STORE]
- Must avoid (allergies, dislikes): [LIST]
- Max cooking time on weeknights: [MINUTES]
- What's already in my pantry: [LIST]
- Diet: [e.g. gluten-free]
- Pets to shop for: [if any]

Rules:
- Only use products you can confirm the store sells; if unsure, give a generic item and say so.
- Check every recipe's ingredients are on the list (including oils, spices and sauces) unless I said I have them.
- Mark prices as estimates and add a 15% buffer to the total.
- Suggest a swap for any item that's often out of stock.
- If a site asks for a login, a CAPTCHA or payment details, stop and hand control back to me.
- Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything.
- Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify.
- Give a cheaper version of the list too, in case prices are higher than you estimated.

Output: Meal plan by day, a store-section shopping list with estimated prices, the buffered total, and a 'check at home first' list.

You'll know it worked when: I can cook every recipe from what's on the list plus my pantry, and the receipt lands within my budget.

Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.
