I have been meaning to make my life simple by writing down most of the stuff that needs to be done. That’s why I designed this menu planner recently and love using it.
There is so much space to write the menu options for all the days. The shopping list section on the right hand side helps me decide with grocery shopping.

Every new year’s, or back to school time, my family decides to make ours a healthy lifestyle by cooking most of the meals at home.
We try to follow a consistent workout regime, using coupons, trying to save money and what not (you know it all, don’t you?).
But within a few days, we find ourselves to square one. After all, with the busy lifestyle we all have, it’s really hard to create that perfect routine.
Most of us try to juggle multiple tasks at a time, and by the end of the day, find ourselves exhausted.
And one of those days, we think to ourselves, what’s the harm in doing the takeout one day. Same thing happens the next day or the day after.
Day after day just add up. We tend to skip cooking at home most of the time, do the take out or go for processed food.
But it’s not always healthy and not very economical.
Weekly Meal Planner
In situations like this, I’ve found that meal planning ahead of time really helps. Of course, it’s important to rope in the whole family and distribute the cooking tasks.
Create a meal plan, get everyone to name their favorite meal, give them the option to pick a nutritious meal, fix a day to dine out.
When you plan ahead of time, you’ll find yourself at ease.
There are four sizes in the download package – A4, A5, Letter and Half Letter Size. Simply plug these in your planner binder or stick them on the refrigerator.
Writing down meals menu for the week helps when you want to check back what you had a few days earlier.
With the shopping list on the right side, you are sure to shop for only groceries you will need for the week.
