Budget Meal Planner + Grocery List: Weekly Meal Plan, Automatic Grocery List, Cost per Serving & 20 Cheap Meals (Google Sheets & Excel)

Plan the week. The grocery list writes itself. Pick breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for each day from your family's Meal Bank, and every ingredient goes on one grocery list: added up across meals, grouped by store section and minus what's already in your pantry. See what every meal costs per serving and keep your grocery budget on track all year. What's inside Weekly menu: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for 7 days, with the cost of each day and the week compared with your weekly grocery budget. "Leftovers" costs $0. Automatic grocery list: built from the menu, grouped by store section in the order you shop, quantities added up (onions from three recipes become one line), estimated cost, and a tick box for the cart. Meal bank: up to 60 family meals with ingredients, servings, total cost and cost per serving. 20 cheap meals: our own short recipes (overnight oats, quesadillas, lentil soup, sheet-pan dinners, curry and more) with ingredients and prices, already in your Meal Bank. Pantry & stock: what you have comes off the list, low items go on a restock list and "use soon" flags food before it spoils. Grocery budget: log each trip; every month of 2027 shows budget, spent, left, trips and cost per person, ready for the Groceries line of your Budget Planner. Dashboard: this week's cost, cost per person per day, budget left this week and this month, cheapest meals and charts. Printables: a weekly meal plan, a grocery list by store section and all 20 cheap meal recipes (PDF). Choose your format Spreadsheet ($7.99): Google Sheets (computer, phone and tablet) plus two Excel files. Best for planning the week on a computer. App ($8.99): the Budget Meal Planner App, one file that opens in your browser on a computer or an Android phone, made for the store: big items grouped by aisle that you tick off with your finger, the price you paid going to your grocery budget, drag-and-drop planning (tap a meal, then a slot on a phone), "Start next week", backup and CSV. Works offline. Not for iPhone: Apple doesn't let browsers run app files saved on the phone. Try the free demo. Everything ($11.99, best value): the spreadsheet and the app. Every version includes the printable PDF (weekly meal plan, grocery list and the 20 recipes). The spreadsheet and the app are separate and don't sync: pick the one you'll use, or use both for different things. The app keeps your data only on your device, so it reminds you to save a backup. Good to know Spreadsheet: Google Sheets (free Google account, works on computer, phone and tablet) plus two Excel files, one blank and one with a sample week. The sample week feeds a family of 4 for $3.88 per person a day. Clear it with two ticks; the 20 cheap meals stay. Instant download: a PDF with your copy link, quick start and printables, plus the Excel files. For personal use. Recipes and prices are a guide: check labels for allergies.
