Meal Planning and Grocery Calendar

Few shot Has example

Plan meals and shopping together.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Build a meal planning and grocery workbook. Household: [HOUSEHOLD]. Dietary needs and allergies: [DIETARY_NEEDS]. Budget: [FOOD_BUDGET]. Cooking time available: [COOKING_TIME]. Spreadsheet app: [SPREADSHEET_APP].

Follow this example of how the pieces connect.
Recipes tab: Lentil soup | serves 4 | onion 1 | carrot 2 | red lentils 250 g | stock 1 l.
Weekly plan tab: Monday dinner = Lentil soup, servings needed 6.
Calculation: ingredient quantity needed = recipe quantity times servings needed divided by recipe servings, so red lentils needed = 250 times 6 divided by 4 = 375 g.
Grocery list tab: sums each ingredient across all planned meals, subtracts pantry stock, groups items by store section.

Design the full workbook: recipes with ingredient lines; a weekly calendar for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks; a grocery list that sums needs with a formula (SUMIF or equivalent) and subtracts the pantry; a pantry tab with quantities and expiry dates; cost estimates per ingredient and a weekly cost total versus budget; allergy tags with warnings when a planned recipe contains an allergen; leftovers planning; and a "favorites rotation" list. Provide the formulas, a sample week with expected results so I can check them, and weekly routines for planning and shopping in 20 minutes. Allergen warnings are a helper and not a substitute for reading labels.

Recipe: Lentil soup, serves 4: red lentils 250 g, onion 1, carrot 2, stock 1 l.
Weekly plan: Monday dinner Lentil soup, servings needed 6.
Calculation: red lentils needed = 250 x 6 / 4 = 375 g; onions 1.5; carrots 3; stock 1.5 l.
Grocery list (after pantry): lentils 375 g - pantry 200 g = 175 g to buy; onions 3 total this week.
Costs: lentils 0.0030 per g x 175 = 0.53; weekly total 61.40 versus budget 70.
Allergen check: no allergens flagged for this household; "contains celery" flagged for the stock.
Sample week expected results are included so formulas can be tested. Allergen flags help, but always read labels.
