Take a closer look ↓What can Meal Planner & Grocery Budget help you do?
This Meal Planner & Grocery Budget is a ready-to-use spreadsheet for Google Sheets and Excel. Add your recipes with their ingredients and what they cost: cost per serving is worked out for you. Pick a recipe for every meal on the Weekly Plan and the Grocery List builds itself, adding up everything you need and taking off what is already in your pantry. Grocery Budget logs every store trip and shows spent vs budget for every week and month. Type in the yellow cells; everything else is calculated for you.
