Home Management Binder: Meal Planning {Free Printables}

I'm back again with another awesome addition to my in progress Home Management Binder. If you missed the first post click to read Section 1: Calendar & Contacts. Like the first section, all the printables listed below will be FREE! They are free mostly because I love free things and because I would love for you to be able to follow along if you wanted too. I've decided to make this a weekly series until it is complete, so next Monday I will post Section 3.

This section was either going to be about cleaning or meal planning. Since I personally live in my kitchen I wanted to make sure I made the kitchen printables ASAP. The cleaning can wait :)

The first form I created was a weekly menu/grocery shopping list. I started using this form last week and it made it so much easier last week and this week going grocery shopping. The menu planner on the left side is for Sunday - Saturday. The grocery shopping list is broken down by categories as I walk through my grocery story.

I decided to make a Grocery Staples printable that list all of the staples we keep in our house. I plan on laminating one and keeping it on our fridge so we can circle with a dry erase marker what we need throughout the week. I will also keep one in my Home Management Binder as a reference.

I needed a Freezer and Pantry Inventory sheet because I can never remember how many cans of tomato sauce I have.

Last but not least I decided I needed a sheet to keep a record of all of the recipes I want to try, that I somehow forget about every week when I am planning our menu. Thank you Pinterest for way to many great recipe ideas and not enough time to cook them all!!

That's my Meal Planning section so far, I do plan on adding a measurement conversion chart when I either find one I can just print off or when I find the time to sit down and create it. As I mention in the first post, my binders have pockets, for this section the pocket will hold coupons and current weekly ads.

Please feel free to download the free printables to add to your binder, all I ask is that you leave me a comment and link back to Twenty63  if you plan on posting about them on your blog. Don't forget to check back in next Monday to see what Section 3 is all about!

Do you know where I can find a kitchen conversion chart? Or any other great reference sheets that you use in your kitchen? If so please feel free to share below!

    1. How did lettuce end up under bread!! Whoops! :)

      Good thing is I am currently working on completely redoing my printables, so stay posted for updated versions, and I will make sure lettuce stays in its place! :)

  3. I love these. I am putting together binders to help 15-18 year old girls learn to budget and set themselves up in the future. I also teach them basic cooking once a month, so these are perfect. I included your web address on the bottom of each page so they know where to go back and find them.
