Free printable weekly meal planner and grocery list
Two pages: a weekly meal planner with breakfast, lunch and dinner for every day, and a grocery list sorted by store section. Free to download and print, no sign-up.
How to use it
- Pick one evening a week to plan, and check the family calendar first. Busy nights get the quickest meals.
- Start with dinners. Breakfasts and lunches can repeat through the week.
- Check the fridge and pantry, then write only what’s missing on the grocery list, under its store section.
- Plan one leftovers night, so food gets eaten and you shop for six dinners instead of seven.
Theme nights make planning faster
Giving each night a theme means choosing from a handful of meals instead of everything you could cook. Here’s a week to start from. Swap in your own family’s favorites.
Meatless Monday
Veggie stir-fry, bean chili, pasta primavera
Taco Tuesday
Tacos, burrito bowls, quesadillas
One-pan Wednesday
Sheet-pan chicken, skillet pasta, fried rice
Leftovers Thursday
Clear out the fridge before the weekend
Pizza Friday
Homemade, flatbreads, or a store-bought base
Breakfast for dinner
Pancakes, omelets, breakfast burritos
Slow-cooker Sunday
Roast, soup or stew, with leftovers for Monday lunch
When the paper plan stops working
A paper planner works until someone is at the store without the list, or the recipe only lives in one person’s head. The Kitchen in the rumaloom app keeps the plan and the list where the whole family can see them:
- Plan breakfast, lunch and dinner for the week, shared with everyone in the house.
- Keep your family’s recipes in one cookbook you can search.
- Add a recipe’s ingredients to the grocery list in one tap.
- One shared grocery list the whole family can add to and tick off at the store.
