Scraper: remove price guard in map_product so produce items without a catalog price (e.g. Fresh Garlic, Lime sold by weight) are saved to grocery_item with current_price=NULL rather than skipped. Matcher: - Add exact-name fast path: build a lowercase-trimmed name→index map and skip fuzzy search entirely when the ingredient name matches a grocery item exactly. Lime → Lime (confidence 1.0), Garlic → Fresh Garlic from fuzzy (confidence 1.0). - Add exclusion words: juice, gelatin to prevent beverage/dessert products from matching cooking ingredients. - Increase fuzzy candidate limit 20→100 so exact-name items buried in large tie groups are not missed. - Add 'juice' to exclusion: prevents '100% Lime Juice' from winning over plain 'Lime'. Result: all recipe ingredients now match correct Lucky CA products or show '—' (no match); zero category cross-contamination remaining.

Meal Planner
Self-hosted meal planning system that integrates with Lucky California grocery store, sends weekly meal proposals via email to family members, generates shopping lists, and learns from feedback.
Background
This project was born out of frustration with meal kit services (Blue Apron → EveryPlate → HungryRoot → Sunbasket) that:
- Escalate costs to 3x ingredient markup
- Fall into repetitive meal rhythms
- Force users to log into apps to manage selections
- Don't integrate with home pantry items
Features
- Grocery Integration: Scrapes Lucky California weekly ads and sales
- Family Approval Workflow: Email proposals with approve/deny; one denial swaps the meal
- Shopping List Generation: Weekly list grouped by store aisles, highlighting sales
- Pantry Integration: Specify home items to incorporate into suggestions
- Web UI: Modern interface for the whole family
- Learning: Feedback-based meal recommendations
- Recipe Images: Scraped from public recipe sites, AI fallback available
Architecture
- Backend: Python/FastAPI
- Database: PostgreSQL
- Frontend: React + Tailwind CSS
- Email: SendGrid
- Hosting: Docker Compose with nginx reverse proxy
