MyOwnPA helps your family manage the grocery budget, the shopping list, and your recipes — right inside WhatsApp.
Real conversations. Real families. Just WhatsApp.
WHAT MYOWNPA DOES TODAY
Snap your till slip and MyOwnPA updates what's left automatically.
One shared list the whole family can add to — by text or voice note.
Photograph any recipe to save it, then check it against your list.
PRICING
Pick the plan that matches how you shop, log, and cook each month.
Lite Shopper
R39/month
Keeps things simple. If your list rarely tops 30 items a month, you'd rather mumble your expenses into a voice note than go hunting for a till slip, and 5 saved recipes covers your weekly rotation — this one's built for you.
Regular Shopper
R79/month
The everyday household running at a steady pace. Room for around 40 items a month, a healthy mix of voice notes and snapped till slips, and a shelf of about 10 go-to recipes on standby.
Frequent Shopper
R99/month
For the serious shopper — bigger family, near-daily trips, a list with real ambition. Snap every till slip without a second thought, and keep up to 30 recipes on hand for whenever inspiration (or hunger) strikes.
Your usage across every feature — shopping list, budget, recipes, and beyond — is combined into one simple monthly total for your plan. However you use it is up to you; it's the total that counts, not any single feature.
