Hi All

Trying to meal plan and wondered if anyone had a spreadsheet they use that they would not mind giving me a copy.
Something that would make the task easier.
Tried searching but you get so many results i am lost lol.

Thanks

    Hi

    i searched for this and found some, but the threads were a few years old and the spreadsheets have been removed. Is there any updated version of some useful OS spreadsheets for things like household budgeting, food etc?

    thanks!

    Friday seems to have become HM pizza night at our house. At least it has over the last month or so, and I like the fact I know what I'm cooking. So I thought I'd experiment with a meal plan for the week. Does anyone know if there are any good meal planners online? I've googled them, but 99% of the links are for premade plans for dieters and stuff. I want to make my own plan.

    Thanks.
