Weekly Meal Planner: Save Time and Money Planning Weekly Meals In Advance

Used to plan weekly family mels

this meal planner has mon. thru sunday; breakfast, lunch dinner snack and also has an area for the shopping list. towards the back it has pages for notes and at the end it has pages for price tracker where you can write the item quanity price and store. and theres several pages of it so you can have one whole page for one store and another page for another store. even though prices change, you can see the different prices at different stores which has helped me lower my grocery bill

1. NOTE: Amazon product details and photos are correct.Like others, I was misled by customer photos showing price tracker and recipe card pages,only to be severely disappointed when the planner arrived without them. Frankly, they were the only reason I chose this planner over others.2. I emailed the company.They responded almost immediately even though it was the weekend. The extra pages were indeed from an earlier version but they were very interested in my opinion and would strongly consider restoring some pages in the 2017 version.3. Wow!They couldn't let it rest and emailed me again a few days later to say based on my comments and reading Amazon reviews, they had immediately launched another version that includes the price tracker pages. So far it's not available on Prime, only from third-party sellers (directly from their own company).  Weekly Meal Planner by KAHOOTIE CO - Meal Planner, Grocery List, Price Tracker and Notes, (TEAL) 4. So what about this meal planner with only the weekly meals and notes?I rate it favorably for people who do basic meal planning. I like that it has spaces for all meals, not just dinner entrees. I like the size, the laminated cover, the spiral binding so it can lie flat or fold back, good paper quality, attractive uncluttered design, and the conversion chart.My needs are more specialized because my doctor and dietitian want me to track certain nutrients and I find it's better to figure these out in the planning stage instead of adding them up after the fact and being surprised. So I need more space than the four lines per meal, and I had brainstormed various ways to use the ready-made page layouts of the price tracker, with its columns, and the recipe card pages, with their boxes. I will be able to use the notes pages for some of this, but as a lover of all notebooks, planners, stationery in general, I was looking forward to the formatted pages.I would not downgrade this planner just because it doesn't meet all my needs, so I'll say for most people it's an excellent planner.

I loved the concept of this! We’re planning a vacation in the fall so I was looking for something just like this to help me meal plan and save money! Trying to save from eating out and just free shopping in the grocery store. I also put grocery pick up orders in to save. The only thing is, I wish there was more writing room for groceries. On one of the pages you can see I wrote in orange and that was for one meal. I knew my whole week wasn’t going to fit, but I made it work. As soon as I wrote down lunch or snack, I’d be on my phone for Walmart pick up and adding my ingredients I knew I needed to the cart. I also like that it has a spiral binding. I never liked holding books open when I write.

I spent several hours comparing blank weekly menu planner reviews and decided to try this one. I'm very happy with this decision. I don't remember any prior reviewers mentioning that this book has six blank pages formatted to record and compare the cost by unit for frequently purchased items. This was a wonderful surprise, a resource used by every extreme couponer I know. Very handy to have these price comparisons in the same book with grocery lists based on weekly menu plans. Nice size fits easily into the coupon binder I use on weekly grocery trips. Well made for an annual resource, quality paper and covers are plastic coated. Very easy to use. Prior comments regarding the number of recipe cards escape me? This is a menu planning book, not a cook book. There are 12 recipe cards in the back of this book, they are a bonus in my mind. I have a room filled with cookbooks, why would anyone want to carry a book filled with recipes when shopping for their weekly grocery list that is based on the menu plan? May I suggest those preferring more recipe pages just reference the cookbook and page number for each item on their weekly menu plan? For my purposes this book is exactly what I need. Will purchase annually!

I would have given this product 5 stars but unfortunately it was damage process of getting to me. It is extremely simple and I do believe this will help me a lot with meal planning. My only complaint is that the shipper sends it in a very flimsy envelope. Perhaps if they sent it in the box mine would not have suffered the fate that it haS. The pages are difficult to flip since they have been creased down the center due to the fold.:( I have a few heavy objects on it currently hoping that will straighten it out a little. I really want to get started on this now so I'm not about to send it back. (I'm in competition with my husband :) And I need this to win. I will just have to gently pull on each page if I need to flip it and then push it through the spirals)

I was looking for something to help with saving money and wanted to meal plan. This book is such a help. Bonus is that it is spiral bound! I am able to plan 3 meals and a snack AND write down ingredients needed. It helps with my weekly grocery trip. My only complaint is very minor and nit picky. I shop on Thursday/Friday and so I meal plan Thurs-Thurs. this book has the day's already written down. BUT, I just adapt. No real issue, just personal preference. I will be getting another once I fill this one up.

Simple, attractive and easy way to track what I eat. I like the meal plan margins on the right which are nice for grocery lists. I appreciate the spiral binding and the simple, sunny, upbeat cover design. A ribbon bookmark would have been helpful. I doubt I will use the meal planning pages on the back of the book, or the expense tracker. For the latter I have a budget book to track expenses so it’s redundant.
