Do any of you use a programe on your computer for working out your meal plans and shopping list etc? I've seen loads on the internet but they all seem to be geared towards the US market.
I did have one a couple of years ago and thought the idea of putting in what you already had in your cupboards, choosing your meals for the week and then the computer would work out what you needed for your list for that week/month etc. Only thing I hated about it was I had to input EVEY item and set it all up as it was another one geared for the US market.
Does anyone out there have any recommendations? I'm thinking in the long run it will be OS to use one of these as it will greatly reduce the time I spend working out meal plans and shopping!

Banana Lovers
Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning

Hi Ruthibe, I just use good old fashoned pen and paper, but then again there is only me so much easier. I had a search for you, and this one is Squeakys . I have seen it mentioned several times. Does that help? Going to have a nosy at it myself now too actually:D
Edit - Squeaky and others work there.A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:
