Meal Planner & Grocery Budget Spreadsheet | Excel & Google Sheets | Fresh Week

Fresh Week is a warm, simple meal planner and grocery budget in one spreadsheet. Plan your week with dropdowns, and the grocery list builds itself from your recipes, minus what's already in your pantry. Plan once, shop once, waste less.

Why you'll love it

• Weekly meal plan: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for all 7 days, picked from your own recipe box with dropdowns.
• A grocery list that writes itself: it adds up every ingredient from the week's recipes, subtracts what's on hand, and sorts the list by category with the store and estimated cost.
• Know what every meal costs: set your pantry prices once and see the cost of each recipe and each serving, plus your cheapest meals.
• Grocery budget: log receipts by store and category and see monthly budget vs spent, with progress bars.
• A dashboard that updates itself: spent and left this month, meals planned, cost per person per day, this week's menu, a budget ring, monthly and category charts, what's running low in the pantry, and what to use first from the freezer.
• Freezer & leftovers tracker with use-by dates, so less food goes to waste.
• Phone View shows today's meals and what to buy while you're at the store.
• Any currency: set to ₱ by default, changeable in one cell.
