Plan the week's food against what you actually want to spend
The useful part of a meal planner is not the plan, it is knowing before you shop whether the plan fits the budget. So that is what this works out.
Nothing you typed is lost. Try it again, or start somewhere that is already known to work.

Payment is handled by Stripe. Your card details go to them and never to us. One payment buys the spreadsheet you are looking at; change it afterwards and that is a different spreadsheet.

- On a computer, open it from your Downloads folder.
- Start on the first tab, Start here. It explains every column and shows you where to type.
- Once your own figures are in it, check it for mistakes. That is free too, and works on any spreadsheet you have.
What you get
- A week laid out the way you eat, not a fixed seven-day grid
- A cost column and a running total against your weekly budget
- A warning when the week goes over
- Somewhere to keep the meals that worked, for next time
We do not store your spreadsheet or anything you put in it. You describe the structure you want; we send back that structure with a few example rows, held only until you collect it. When you design a spreadsheet here, your figures never reach us: what you type into the file stays on your own computer.
