INKLING: Free Printable Menu Planner

I’ve been using a menu planner / grocery list system for years. Long before I started this blog, I created a little half sheet so I could plan out the family meals for the week and jot down my groceries. I decided to update my planner and share my new version with all of you.





Everyone has their own system for keeping organized. I created the menu planner so that you could hang them on the fridge, keep them on a clipboard or if you prefer to use a binder type planner, I’ve left a wide margin along the left edge to punch holes to fit your system. I jot down my meal plan for the following week and plan out my groceries because I only like to shop once a week.

If you like the post-it or flag method, the space for the meal planning accommodates standard size flags.

With the post-it system, you keep your pre-written meal flags on a separate page and just stick them onto the weekly planner.

This meal planner prints out on a full sheet of printer paper but you can simply fold it over in your planner.

I don’t like using a lot of printer ink, so I kept the design fairly simple. And unlike other planners, I’ve used less space for the meal plan and more space for the shopping list. This system works for me and I’m happy to share it with you  – If you’d like to download a copy, the link is below.
