Is the meal planner free?

Yes. Plan and print as many weeks as you like, with no sign-up and no watermark. The designed Supper Plan pack (21 pages: weekly and monthly planners, pantry and freezer inventories, recipe cards, a budget tracker) is $2.99.

Does the planner fit on one page?

Yes. The week and the grocery list print on one sheet of US Letter or A4; the text shrinks a little on very full weeks so nothing spills over.

Free weekly meal planner with grocery list

Q: How does the grocery list fill itself?

Each suggested meal comes with its usual ingredients. For your own meals type the name, a colon and the items (Tacos: beef, tortillas, cheese). The list merges repeats, shows how many meals use an item and sorts everything by aisle.

Plan the week's meals and the grocery list writes itself: every item once, sorted by aisle, with ×2 when two meals need it. Print the week and the list on one sheet, US Letter or A4, or save it as a PDF. No sign-up, nothing uploaded.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes: plan and print as many weeks as you like, no watermark and no account. The designed 21-page Supper Plan pack is a separate $2.99 download.

How does the grocery list know what to buy?

The suggested meals carry their usual ingredients (staples like oil, salt and pepper are left off). For your own meals type the name, a colon and the items: “Tacos: beef, tortillas, cheese”. Repeats are merged and ×2 shows when two meals use the same item.

Does it fit on one page?

Yes, the week and the list share one sheet of US Letter or A4. On very full weeks the text shrinks a little so nothing spills onto a second page.

I would rather use an app on my phone.
