Meal Planner & Grocery Budget (Excel Spreadsheet)

Plan the week's meals, build the shopping list and keep the food bill under control.

A simple Excel planner for families and households. Plan what you're eating, list what you need to buy, and track your weekly food spend. Every shopping list item has a clickable link that searches for it on Tesco, so you can check pack sizes and prices as you go.
