How to Use This Planner

MY PANTRY ESSENTIALS

  • Begin by completing the “MY PANTRY ESSENTIALS” sheet to create your list of most used pantry items and refer back to it before creating your grocery shopping list.

ITEMS TO WATCH FOR SALES ON

  • To treat yourself and save money, complete the “ITEMS TO WATCH FOR SALES ON” sheet and keep an eye out for these items to go on sale. 

GROCERY SHOPPING EVERY 3 WEEKS and REFLECTIONS AND GOALS

  • If you are someone who could benefit from a few more hours in your weekly schedule, read the “GROCERY SHOPPING EVERY 3 WEEKS” informational page. Then, take a moment to complete the “REFLECTIONS AND GOALS” page to help you on your way to spending less time grocery shopping and more time doing the things you love!

SEASONAL INVENTORY

  • Completing the “SEASONAL INVENTORY” sheet will save you even more money by shopping what is currently in season in your area. This is also a great way to track seasonal freezer items like roasts and casseroles which will heat up your house in the oven or in a Crock Pot; keeping you warm in the winter and too hot in the summer. Clearing out seasonal freezer and pantry items also allows you to make space for your current seasonal grocery items.

ALLERGIES AND FAVORITES

  • If you are an allergy family, the “ALLERGIES AND FAVORITES '' sheet will help you save time by having a list of your allergy-friendly favorites handy at all times while you’re grocery shopping.

FAVORITE MEALS

  • Making a list of your “FAVORITE MEALS” will help you to quickly and easily meal plan throughout the year. It will also make filling in the remaining weekly and monthly sheets a breeze.

MONTHLY CALENDAR

  • The “MONTHLY CALENDAR” can be used however you wish. Use it to indicate busy days in your schedule where making a batch-cooked freezer meal would be best. Or to indicate days where you have an event and don’t need to cook. Or, maybe you have an event and you need to bring a dish with you, which needs to be added to your grocery shopping list. Perhaps you are even planning an event yourself. The possibilities for this section are endless, use it to its fullest potential.

MONTHLY GROCERY BUDGET TRACKER

  • Use the “MONTHLY GROCERY BUDGET TRACKER” to track all your grocery spending throughout the month. See if you can reduce your monthly budget as you get better at implementing the tips and tricks in this planner and begin making less frequent trips to the grocery store.

MONTHLY EATING OUT TRACKER

  • The “MONTHLY EATING OUT TRACKER” is a great tool to track your eating out habits and expenses, especially if you are trying to cut down in this area. 

WEEKLY PREP

  • Before meal planning and creating your grocery list, complete the “WEEKLY PREP” list to ensure you are using the food you have on hand. This will help you rotate your inventory, waste less food, and save you money in the long run.

WEEKLY MEAL PLANNER, SHOPPING LIST, and NOTES

  • Finally, complete the “WEEKLY MEAL PLANNER” with the meals you have planned for the week, create your “SHOPPING LIST”, and enter any thoughts you may have from the week on the “NOTES” page.
