Vague prompts get vague dinners. Each prompt below names who you're feeding, how much time you have and what to avoid, and asks for shared ingredients so the grocery list stays short. Use the “Open in ChatGPT” link to start with the prompt already typed.
These work in plain ChatGPT. The details in brackets do most of the work, so fill them in before you send.

Asking for shared ingredients is what keeps the list short.

See SummitPlate in ChatGPTYes. Ask for the number of dinners, who you're feeding, the time you have and the foods you avoid, and ask for one grocery list grouped by store section. The prompts on this page are written that way.
ChatGPT writes the list from the recipes in the chat, so it can double-count ingredients, miss pantry staples or round quantities oddly. Check quantities before you shop. SummitPlate builds its list from the planned recipes and combines shared ingredients.
Only if they stay in that chat or in ChatGPT memory, and even then it can drift. SummitPlate keeps your household's preferences, allergies and plans in your account, and the SummitPlate app in ChatGPT reads them from there.
