TN Meal Planner Inserts With Weekly Menus and Grocery Lists

This TN meal planner is a kitchen refill for a standard-size traveler's notebook (4.33 x 8.25 in, 110 x 210 mm), with weekly menus, grocery lists, a dinner plan for the month, pantry, spice and freezer lists, recipe pages and family favorites. The undated booklet holds 28 insert pages printed on 7 sheets, each with dashed cutting guides, crop marks and a fold line. You get US Letter and A4 PDF files as an instant download, and nothing is shipped.

Print on both sides, trim, fold and staple, and what is for dinner is settled before the week begins.

How the TN meal planner makes weeknights easier

Map out breakfast, lunch and dinner for seven days on a single page, then turn it into a shopping list grouped by aisle so the store run is quick. Pantry, spice and freezer pages show what is already at home before you buy more, and a use it up page makes sure leftovers get eaten, not tossed.

When nobody can decide what to cook, the idea bank, the family favorites and the quick meals page answer in seconds. Since nothing is dated, you can start in any week and print the weekly sheets again whenever you run low.

Who this notebook meal planner is for

• Home cooks with a standard-size traveler's notebook or leather journal cover who like to have the menu and list in hand at the store
• Busy families tired of the daily what's for dinner question who want to shop once a week
• Anyone hoping to waste less food and spend less by eating from the pantry, fridge and freezer first
• Meal prep fans who batch cook on weekends and like to know what went into the fridge and freezer

Design, size and printing

• Minimalist white pages with soft blush pink touches that use very little ink
• Wide margins all around, so a home printer will not trim anything
• Landscape sheets in A4 (210 x 297 mm) or US Letter (8.5 x 11 in), with two insert pages of 110 x 210 mm per side, dashed lines for cutting, crop marks and a fold mark in the middle
• Undated for use in any year, with weeks beginning on Sunday in US Letter and on Monday in A4
• A meal planning set, not the same product as the general PetiteDiary Traveler's Notebook Inserts with their weekly, daily, habit and travel pages

• This is a digital file only. Nothing physical is mailed.
• Printed colors can look a little different from your screen.
• For your own personal use only. Please keep the files to yourself and do not resell them.
• Digital files cannot be returned, but if something will not open or print properly, email us and we will help quickly.
• Trimmed and folded, a page comes out at the standard traveler's notebook size of 110 x 210 mm (4.33 x 8.25 in). You cut and bind it yourself, and a notebook cover is not part of the purchase.
