The important thing is to get into the habit of planning your meals, so I say use the one that helps you with that task! So choose the one that fits your personality and your needs best. In my opinion neither of these forms is superior to the other, they are just different. That way, instead of having two forms to fill out each week, one for your meal plan and one for your list for the store, in this form it's all combined into one. The difference in the form below is that there is less space for planning meals, because I know some people don't plan all three meals per day, but dinner only, for example, and then half of the form is devoted to your grocery list. This newer form is one that people have been asking for, so I am providing it. The first one I created ( which you can get here) has spaces for planning each of your meals for the day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, on the form for the week, and then there is a separate printable you can use for filling out your grocery list for the week. In that article I've discussed the strategy behind meal planning in a lot more detail.īut what you may notice if you've been on this site for a while is that this is actually the second weekly planner for your meals that I've put up. The date boxes have been left blank so that you can fill it in based on the different dates/months each year.Using this form is pretty self-explanatory for the most part, especially if you read the Healthy Meal Planning Challenge article that this form is designed to accompany. I can then rotate through the menu plans and copy/past and change the dates as needed.Īnd all those lovely blue spaces? They don’t show up when you print off the document, but the show the areas that you are able to type into on the pdf document. My goal is to have three or four different monthly meal plans so that we’re not eating the same-old, same-old every single month. I can also ‘recycle’ menu plans from past months. While I usually plug our meals into my weekly planner, being able to see everything a month-at-a-glance really helps me. In an effort to keep better track of our menus and to save myself a little time and money, I put together a cute monthly meal planner that I can use each month when planning out our meals each month.
