Paid $80 for a meal plan app, deleted it after 5 days

I saw all these ads for a meal planning app that promised to cut grocery costs and waste. Last Tuesday I caved and paid $80 for the yearly plan after the free trial ran out. Turns out the recipes were way too fancy for my kitchen, I mean who keeps preserved lemons around? The shopping list feature kept missing basics like salt and pepper, so I'd still run to the store twice a week. After 5 days I realized I was spending MORE because I was buying stuff I'd never use again. I asked for a refund and got told the policy was 48 hours, so that money's gone. Has anyone else found a free or cheaper way to actually meal plan without the flashy stuff?

The $80 sting is real, especially when the refund window is that tight. I've been there with subscription traps, and it's honestly one of the reasons I just use a basic notepad app on my phone now. You can build a simple weekly list in ten minutes and skip all the fancy ingredients.
