From a dinner plan to a grocery list

  1. Choose your week. Swap any dinner using the day’s menu. The full example repeats some of the four recipes; it does not add new recipes.
  2. Check what is already at home. Shared ingredients are added together. In the starting example, checking garlic means you have all 7 cloves and reduces the shopping list from 22 items to 21.
  3. Preview and print. Your printable meal planner includes all seven nights and the remaining grocery list. Checked pantry items stay off the printout.

The item count is the number of different ingredients still to buy, not the number of packages or servings. If a changed dinner needs a different amount of a checked ingredient, check that new amount again.
