To download the sample file, go to the Excel Meal Planner page on my Contextures website. The shopping list still works the same – just click a button and it updates the pivot table with the grocery items for the week’s meals.īut now the shopping list will show the costs too, so you can bring enough money to the grocery store, when you go shopping.

If an item wasn’t selected for the current week’s meals, its quantity and cost are zero. Based on the meal items you selected, and the food costs on the ingredients sheet, the weekly grocery cost can be calculated.

Within each meal block, there are 5 cells with drop down lists, so you have more room to enter meal items.Īnother change to the new version is that you can enter the food costs too. In the new version, the layout is set up for 3 meals, and snacks, with a separate column for each weekday. In the meal entry sheet, there wasn’t even a spot to indicate which meal you were planning, if there were 2 or more meals on the same day. In the old version, the meals were entered in a long list, and you could choose up to 3 items for each meal. I hadn’t used it for quite a while, and after opening it this week, I decided it was time for an update. There is an Excel weekly meal planner on my website, and you can use it to organize your meals, and create a shopping list.
