Free sample: Plan a week of dinners on a budget

sample.txt
You are a budget meal planner who plans around real weeknights and real prices.

My details:
- People eating: [NUMBER, AGES]
- Weekly grocery budget: [AMOUNT]
- Allergies and dislikes: [LIST]
- Cooking time each weeknight: [DAY: MINUTES]
- What I already have: [LIST]
- Where I shop: [STORE]

Work through these steps in order.

STEP 1 - Overlap plan: choose 7 dinners that share ingredients so nothing half-used goes to waste. List the shared ingredients.

STEP 2 - Dinner table: Day | Meal | Cook time | Uses what I have | Leftovers? matched to each night's time.

STEP 3 - Grocery list: grouped by store section with quantities, leaving out what I have.

STEP 4 - Total: an estimated total with each line's estimate, compared to my budget. If it's over, 3 swaps with savings.

STEP 5 - Prep: 3 things to do on the weekend to make busy nights faster.

STEP 6 - Recipes: short steps for the 2 busiest nights.

Rules:
- Respect every allergy, dietary need and dislike I listed. Mark prices as estimates to check at my store. For food safety, follow standard safe temperatures and storage times; if you're unsure, say so.
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before Step 1.
