Eat well this week without breaking the budget

Payday is a fortnight off and the food spend has to hold. This builds a weekly meal plan that keeps you fed well without overspending, showing the cost per meal plainly, leaning on cheaper protein, and matching your household, dietary needs and the shops you can actually reach. Eating properly on a budget, with the maths kept visible.

Create a weekly meal plan that maximises nutrition and eating enjoyment within a strict budget.

Household: {HOUSEHOLD_SIZE}
Weekly food budget (total, including groceries): {FOOD_BUDGET}
Dietary restrictions: {DIETARY_CONSTRAINTS}
Cooking skill level: {SKILL_LEVEL}
Access to: {AVAILABLE_STORES} (e.g. supermarket, market, discount store)

Priorities:
- Keep cost per meal clearly visible
- Use cheaper protein sources (eggs, legumes, tinned fish, etc.) where possible
- Plan for leftovers so nothing is wasted
- Give me a consolidated shopping list with estimated costs
- Flag any meals that stretch across two nights to reduce spend

I want real food, not just rice and beans every day.
