Organize meal planning from start to finish with these easy to use spreadsheets!

>>>> 7 Spreadsheets included <<<<

1. FAVORITE RECIPES LIST
Keep track of your family's favorite recipes along with useful info:
- Category (click the drop-down arrow to filter by category). E.g. if you haven't eaten pork in a while, filter to only see pork recipes
- Recipe name
- Source (URL of the website, or if you have a lot of recipes in binders, the binder reference e.g.#4). By storing the URL link you can directly click from the spreadsheet to the recipe page - handy if you use an iPad for cooking
- Staple ingredients (that you already have on hand)
- Other ingredients (need to buy)
- Prep + cooking time
- Optional: add a photo
- Family rating

2. MEAL PLANNER
Monthly meal planner. I use this for dinner planning only, but you could add lunch and other meals as well.

Enter the date in the first box and the rest of the month's dates will automatically pre-fill.

If you prefer to do weekly meal planner, just use the first row of this spreadsheet.

3. MEAL PLANNER - DETAILED
If you want to plan out every meal, use this monthly meal planner instead.

There are sections for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

4. FOOD INVENTORY
The cells will automatically turn blue when the quantity drops to 0 or 1 signalling it's time to restock and you should add this item to your grocery list.

Enter food by location: pantry, freezer or fridge then use the dropdown arrow to filter food by location. You can also use CTRL + F keyboard shortcut to find the food item quickly.

5. PRE-FILLED GROCERY LIST
Pre-populated with more than 220 common items. You can easily add your own grocery items, and delete any I've already entered that aren't relevant to you.

Enter the quantity required and the price you typically pay and the spreadsheet will automatically calculate the expected total cost for that shop.

You can use this for any duration you like. Weekly shop, fortnightly, monthly etc.

Right click on the tab and select 'duplicate' to save a copy of that grocery list. You can also save a copy of the meal plans in the same way, so everything is in the one place for future reference.

6. GROCERY LIST
Same as above only it's blank so you can build your own grocery list from scratch.

7. PRICE COMPARISON
Enter the prices for up to 3 shops (grocery items are pre-filled same as the grocery list, but you can delete and add your own as well) and the spreadsheet will automatically highlight which shop is the cheapest for that item, as well as the average price for that item.

If you take this with you to the shops you can see if it's worthwhile waiting to go to a shop that has the product cheaper, or if the price is close to the average for that item, it might be worthwhile to just get it.

To see all of the items that are the cheapest at one store, click the dropdown arrow at the top of the column and choose 'filter by color' then select the blue that will appear. Now you can either print the spreadsheet and take it with you to that shop or write out your shopping list by store based on what products are cheaper.
