Reader Review
“I use this every week! I usually sit down and try to plan two to three weeks at a time. It has been a game changer for me.”
Meal planning is the gift that keeps on giving. Spending ten minutes on it at the beginning of the week means no more 5:30 “What’s-for-dinner??” angst.
A crucial step in meal planning is food shopping. Ever made a last-minute dash to the store where, run in for garlic, come out with $150 worth of other stuff–and completely forget the garlic?

How to use this worksheet
Sketch out a dinner plan for the week
Focus first on what you already have on hand, like chicken breasts in the freezer or some broccoli that should be eaten soon.
Keep your schedule in mind as you map out the week too:
- Have a crazy, soccer-filled Tuesday evening? Pencil in a frozen pizza or leftovers that can be quickly reheated.
- Got a lazy Sunday? That’s a perfect day for a hours-long pot roast in the oven.
Build your grocery list
Fill in the list with items you need for your dinners, plus other things for the week. The goal is to avoid unplanned trips to grab forgotten items.
This sheet is organized by category to simplify shopping and avoid zig-zagging across the store.
