One suggestion that a poster on Lifehacker mentioned was using Google Calendar for menus, especially in multi-member households.

I’m lucky in that when my mom retired, she moved in with me and offered to take over the cooking, but hates deciding what to make. So, I made a Google Calendar just for menus. She can access it and make changes as well as my teenage daughters. Everyone can look at a glance on any Internet-connected computer to see what supper will be for the week.

As a bonus, we can have meals repeat once a month (or every 6 months).

Life is too hectic for most of us to cook different meals every single night not to mention breakfasts and lunches.
I meal plan for the week but I cook a huge batch of something Sunday or Monday night and we eat it until it’s gone-usually it lasts until Wed or Thursday night.
If the family doesn’t like eating the same thing, I invite someone to do the cooking.

By the way everyone is responsible for creating and making their own lunches.

Meal planning saves me a lot of time and stress. Before I was always wondering what to make every day, and spending a lot of time getting groceries. Once I started making a weekly plan and one main trip to the store, I was surprised how much easier things got and that I saved money as well, as less food was going to waste.

I have tried several different meal planners, and I like the one at http://www.saymmm.com because it is easy to use and I like how it connects my meal plan to my grocery list.

I too have used http://www.savingdinner.com for my menu planning for years. As a busy mom who works full time I just didn’t have the time to figure it all out myself and I was tired of spending money for “good intentions” that never got cooked. Not only have the menus from Saving Dinner saved me money, time, and my sanity LOL but I have also lost weight! YAY! Nothing beats a home cooked meal that’s for sure! I’m pretty sure you can get a free sample if you sign up for her newsletters (which are excellent by the way and almost always include great recipes and information)!

Hey there. I just wanted to let you know that I think this simple menu planning template is excellent! I just made a blog post myself about menu planning, and I linked to your template because I think it’s a really good one!

Thanks for creating this!

I completely agree. If you make a plan you save time, money, and dinner time is much less stressful. I like the Unclutterer Meal Plan concept. Plug in dishes based on how much time you have to cook each night. If you want to make it even easier, I offer five free weekly menus with a free detailed grocery shopping list and lots of family friendly recipes at http://www.makedinnereasy.com. I’m the mom of 4 busy kids and I love to cook. My recipes are those that my kids will actually eat and that I have time to cook. My hats off to all the families trying to work, shuttle the kids around and still get dinner on the table at night!

[...] While the tutorial goes in depth on making the tools, they don’t actually share the template they used for the grocery list. Never fear however, the web abounds with templates you can take and modify for your own use like this grocery list and this meal planner. [...]
