Weekly Meal Planner Template with Shopping List

A meal planner template you can print right now, blank, or fill in first. Type each dish and, after a colon, its ingredients: the shopping list builds itself, with repeated items merged. Print it for the fridge, save a PDF or copy the list to your phone.

      How to use it

      1. Pick the meals you plan (breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner) and the day your week starts. Add the date of the first day if you want it printed.
      2. Type each dish in its day. To build the shopping list, add the ingredients after a colon: Chili: ground beef, 2 onions, beans.
      3. Check the shopping list: repeated items are merged, and "2 onions" plus "2 onions" become "4 onions". Add anything else you need to buy.
      4. Print the plan, save it as a PDF, download a PNG, or copy the list to your phone. A blank template prints too.

      Examples

      • Family week on the fridge

        Breakfast, lunch and dinner for seven days, the dates under each day, and the shopping list next to the plan on one Letter sheet.

      • Meal prep on Sunday

        Lunches and dinners only, the ingredients after each dish, and the shopping list on its own page to take to the store.

      • Blank template for the month

        No dishes typed: print four copies of the blank planner and fill them in by hand each week.

      Questions

      Is this meal planner template free?

      Yes. Plan, print, save as PDF and download the PNG for free, with no account and no watermark you cannot remove.

      How is the shopping list made?

      From the ingredients you type after a colon in each dish, plus the extra items. The same item twice reads "item (x2)", and quantities with the same words are added up: "2 eggs" and "4 eggs" become "6 eggs". Nothing is guessed or converted.

      Can I print a blank meal planner?

      Yes. Leave the dishes empty and press Print: you get the weekly grid with the meals you picked and an empty checklist for the shopping.

      How do I get a PDF?

      Press Print and choose "Save as PDF" as the printer. Choose scale 100% and no margins so the page comes out exact.

      Can I send the plan to someone?

      Yes. "Copy link to this plan" makes a link that opens the same plan and list in their browser. It carries what you typed, never your logo. "Copy shopping list" copies only the list, ready for a message.

      Can I remove "Made with VISU"?

      Yes. Untick it and the small line leaves the print and the PNG. It is free and needs no account.
