Who it's for
For the household where dinner is decided at six in the evening, with the fridge open. That daily decision is the expensive one: it produces takeaway, duplicate shopping, and the wilted vegetables at the back of the drawer. Planning a week takes about fifteen minutes and removes seven decisions. The grocery list on the facing page matters more than it looks — a plan without a matching list still sends you to the shop three times, which is where the impulse spending happens.
How to use it
- Check what you already have before writing anything. The plan should use the half-bag of rice, not ignore it.
- Fill in the fixed points first: the late work night, the evening nobody is home, the day you eat with family.
- Plan one meal that deliberately makes leftovers, and write those leftovers into the next day's lunch box.
- Build the grocery list from the plan, not from memory, and group it by aisle so the shop takes one pass.
- Pin the sheet where the cooking happens. A plan in a drawer gets overruled at six o'clock.
Questions
We rarely stick to a plan. Is it still worth it?
Plan five dinners, not seven. Leaving two nights open absorbs the takeaway, the invitation and the day that runs late — and a five-night plan that survives beats a seven-night plan abandoned on Wednesday.
Does it include recipes?
No. It is a grid and a grocery list, deliberately: recipe collections date quickly and rarely match how a particular household eats. The planner is built to hold whatever you already cook.
Can I plan two weeks at once?
Print two sheets and alternate them. Many people find a repeating fortnight easier than a fresh plan each week, because the shopping list stabilises and the second week takes five minutes instead of fifteen.
