Meal Planner Spreadsheet

Meal Planner Spreadsheet to sell!

Always know what’s for dinner (as well as lunch and breakfast!) with this handy spreadsheet which is a Meal Planner, Grocery Shopping List Maker, and Recipe Organizer all in one!

Plan your meals on the Weekly Meal Planner sheet using a list of regular meals you love to cook or get inspiration from the Online and Printed Recipe Library tabs, as well as the sheet containing your own treasured recipes. 

Add ingredients to your shopping list as you plan and print your list out or use it online as you shop. You can view your list according to item category or store where you will purchase to match the way you shop. 

This Meal Planner Spreadsheet provides a whole system with everything you need to take care of weekly meal planning and grocery shopping. At the end of the week you can reuse your meal plan and edit it if you wish, keep it as a record for later or start afresh.

You can use the spreadsheet to solve your own “what’s for dinner” dilemmas, but you also get commercial rights to the Meal Planner Spreadsheet system so you can sell it in your shop.

The spreadsheet runs on the free Google Sheets app and you can switch it up in any way you like (if you wish!)

Full instructions are included for how to modify these sheets.

How does the Meal Planner work?

The Meal Planner spreadsheet uses the free Google Sheets app that people can access on any device.

To set up the sheets, users follow the simple instructions on the getting started sheet to tailor the spreadsheet for their own preferences including meals, ingredients, stores to shop from, and recipes.

The spreadsheet is fully customizable to meet the preferences of any user. Typical units and ingredients have been pre-populated to assist with user set up but these are fully editable too.

After basic data entry, operating the spreadsheet is easy as dropdowns (using the set up data) are available for most fields.

Not sure what to make for dinner with the available ingredients? Enter up to five ingredients in the recipe finder to locate favorites from the online recipe or printed recipe lists. Handy links to locate all the details are included.

Any ingredients you don’t have on hand for the meals you have planned can be added to the shopping item selection sheet with a quick “go to” feature.

Items then appear automatically on the final shopping list which can be sorted by store or category.
