What to cook with this week's offers?

The cheaper order for cooking is the reverse: look first at what is on offer this week, then choose the menu. Because Swiss chains rotate their promotions weekly and none is permanently the cheapest, this approach saves noticeably. Which ingredients are cheap is a snapshot, so you find the recipes matched to the offers live in Rappn, not as a fixed list.

A cutting board with fresh versatile ingredients and a phone in a kitchen: cooking with this week's offers, with matched recipes live in Rappn.

Updated regularly. Most people first decide what to cook, then pay whatever the ingredients cost. The cheaper order is the reverse: first look at what is on offer this week, then choose the menu. Because Swiss chains rotate their promotions weekly and none is permanently the cheapest, this "offer first" approach saves noticeably, with no fixed recipe list at all.

Rappn is the only neutral grocery price comparison app in Switzerland, with no commercial agreement with any retailer. Migros, Coop, Aldi, Lidl, Denner, Aligro and Otto's do not pay us to rank them, and nothing below is sponsored.

How do I cook with this week's offers?

In three steps. 1. Look at the promotions first. Migros, Coop, Aldi, Lidl, Denner and the others publish their offers weekly. Which staple is cheap this week decides your menu, not the other way round. 2. Cook around a cheap lead ingredient. If, say, chicken, mince or a seasonal vegetable is on offer, you build the dish around it. Seasonal vegetables are cheaper and more available anyway. 3. Compare across chains. The same item is cheapest at one chain one week and another the next, because no chain is permanently the cheapest. A neutral comparison shows where the promo lead ingredient really costs least.

Important and honest: which products are on offer right now is a snapshot that changes every week. This guide therefore names no specific weekly prices, that would be out of date by tomorrow. The current, dated recipes matched to offers you find live.

From offer to recipe, live

This is exactly where Rappn comes in: the recipes section matches running promotions with suitable dishes and suggests what you can cook cheaply this week. And through the price comparison you see, per ingredient, at which chain the promo lead ingredient is cheapest. That way you cook with the promotions, not against them. The method behind it is explained in cook cheaply, and how to turn it into a weekly plan in weekly meal plan on a budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I decide what to cook with the offers?

Reverse the order: first look at what is on offer this week, pick a cheap lead ingredient (such as chicken, mince or a seasonal vegetable) and build the dish around it. Compare the price across chains, because none is permanently the cheapest. Recipes matched to the current promotions you find live in Rappn.

Why does this guide name no specific weekly prices?

Because offers are a snapshot that changes every week. A fixed price would be wrong within days. So the guide explains the method, and the current, dated offers and matching recipes come live from the Rappn app.

Is one chain always the cheapest?

No. Kassensturz and K-Tipp show that the cheapest chain changes by week and basket. That is why a neutral comparison across all chains pays off, rather than committing to a single one.

Is it worth cooking seasonally?

Yes. Seasonal fruit and vegetables are cheaper and more available in season. Combined with the running promotions, that gives the cheapest weekly basket. Specific prices you see live in Rappn, because they change weekly.
