Sunday routine: pick 5 meals from your list and build an Instacart pickup cart
Weekly meal planning and the grocery cart eat a chunk of every Sunday.
What hurt
Josh (@JoshInEncinitas) has a Sunday Grok Bot routine that opens the family's meal ideas list on Google, picks 5, and creates an Instacart cart for pickup. Tip only; no prompt was published. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Keep one shared meal ideas list in Google. A weekly routine reads it, picks five meals, and fills an Instacart pickup cart with the ingredients. You review the cart and check out yourself.

Routines
Sundays: Pick 5 meals from the Google meal ideas list and build an Instacart pickup cart for review.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/JoshInEncinitas/status/2106880388505477507 (credit @JoshInEncinitas).
- 2Put your family's meal ideas in one Google Doc or Sheet and connect Google to your bot.
- 3Sign the bot's browser into Instacart and set your pickup store.
- 4Run it once by hand: pick 5 meals from the list and add the ingredients to an Instacart pickup cart, then stop before checkout.
- 5When the cart looks right, save it as a Sunday routine. You review and check out.
Approval fence
The bot builds the cart only. You approve substitutions and place the order; it never checks out on its own.
What to tweak
Steal the shape: one living list, one weekly pick, one cart waiting for you.
