Free Weekly Menu Planning Template

by Laura on April 8, 2009

in Downloads, Menu Plan Monday

For quite some time now, I’ve wanted to make available to my readers a menu planning template to assist you with your weekly menu planning (click on the link below).  I’ve had the template done for awhile but was having trouble with the whole conversion to PDF thing.  Now that I’ve finally figured it out, I hope to offer more templates to you on a regular basis.   Let me know what you think and if you have any preferences/ideas for future downloads let me know that too.  Have a happy day everyone :)

I love the recipe source line! I am always trying new recipes and often forget just where I got them from! Thanks for the “duh” moment! Just write it down…go figure. :)

Thanks so much for sharing! This is so simple that I think I may actually be able to use it! I’m forever writing both my grocery list and “menu” on scraps of paper and then can never find the two together.

This is great Laura! Thanks for all the work!

Sarah April 9, 2009 at 7:58 am

Am new to this site and am really enjoying it. I love the template, thanks for making it available. One change I might make to it, just to suit my style, is to divide the grocery list section into areas of the store (Produce, Dairy, Middle Aisles, etc.). When i don’t do this, I inevitably end up trucking back over to the produce because my list was all hodge-podge!

Thanks again! I love the site and connect so with your passions for organizing!

Ooh good job!

Lisa April 9, 2009 at 8:26 am

Thanks! It looks great! I’ve always been in the habit of writing the recipe source anyway (otherwise I’d completely forget) but I really like the idea of having the grocery list on the same page. That’s sure to help me with the “Ooh, I forgot ______ for Tuesdays meal” items at the store.

Thanks! One question though, is it set up that we can adjust it a little? I plan out every meal (I just have too right now) and would have to squeeze to get it all in… I think. Gonna try when the comp comes back tonight (on borrowedtme right now).

Thank you for sharing. I really like that it has a grocery list area. I needed that.

Reply

Elaine H April 9, 2009 at 11:21 am

That is really great!! I’ll have to print that out here soon and utilize it. I’m so bad about actually writing down my menu that I actually have to open up my blog to remember what I’m serving each day. :roll:

Jenn April 9, 2009 at 11:24 am

Oh wonderful, how very helpful to have the grocery list right there!

Reply

Laura April 9, 2009 at 11:36 am

Mama Kalila..you can’t adjust that one but I am working on one that allows for space for all three meals. Hope to get that done soon, stay tuned!

This is a really fantastic template-easy to read and even easier to use!! I have planned weekly meals for quite some time now but always use scrap paper for my grocery list-this is much more organized:) Thank you for sharing!!!

this is terrific!
I’ve never quite been satisfied with other templates I’ve seen.
Usually they’re geared more towards the person who created them (and I am not them!)
But this one is clean, simple and generic.
THANKS!

Thank you so much. I have actually printed off 15 copies. I am set for several months on planned meals.

I appreciate any and all help in the meal planning department. I feel completely inadequate here and am drawn like a moth to the flame to anything that has to do with meal planning. Its my thorn. Aack.

Thank you so much for this form. I keep saying I’m going to start menu planning and the weeks just keep coming and going with me still running around asking “what in the world can I make for dinner tonight”. Printed out your form and I’m in the process of planning next week this morning. I love the way this is done because the grocery list is right there with the menu! Thanks again!

Cheryl April 10, 2009 at 8:02 am

Love the template! This works for me as I only plan the evening meal. The receipe source reminds to write down where the receipe is so I don’t have to scramble trying to remember where I saw or put that particular receipe. I like to try at least one new one per week so this is perfect.
