A printable meal plan template — one week, two meals, no account
An empty weekly template you can print and put on the fridge. There is no sign-up, no file to download and no advertising. The page is made to be printed straight from the browser with Ctrl+P (or ⌘+P on a Mac).

How to use it so it survives the week
Fill in five evenings, not seven
Two empty boxes are not a hole in the plan. They are the evenings where there will be leftovers or something bought. A plan that expects them does not break because of them.
Write the leftovers in as a day
»Leftovers from yesterday« is a complete answer in a box. It is the cheapest day of the week and the one that asks the least of you.
Fill in the shopping list last
Only once every day is written down can the same packet be used in two places. Write the list meal by meal and you buy the cucumber twice.
Hang it where the question gets asked
On the fridge, not in a drawer. The point is that nobody has to ask »what should we eat tonight?« at half past five.
When paper is not enough
A template solves the half of the job that is about having somewhere to write the plan. The other half is deciding what goes in the boxes, and copying out the shopping list, and that is the half that makes plans fall over.
Madmakker fills in the boxes for you: a whole week of lunches and dinners based on the size of the household and your weekly budget, with leftovers taken into account, and a shopping list gathered from the week's meals and sorted by your shop's order. The app is free, needs no account and works without an internet connection. Its interface is in Danish.
