A week of meals picked from your recipe list, with cost and prep minutes per day worked out from the recipes, and a shopping list with ticks. Pro moves the recipes to their own sheet with categories, and the shopping list to one with aisles and what's left per aisle. No macros.
Any date lays out Monday to Sunday. Four meals a day from a dropdown; cost per day × people and prep minutes per day; week totals; per person per day. Free: 30 recipes and a 30-item shopping list on the sheet.
60 recipes: category, servings, cost per serving, prep minutes, notes; how many times each is planned this week.
60 items with aisle and ✓; items, got and left per aisle.
Week, people, meal types, aisles.
Six formulas explained, including SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF()) for a day's cost.
Every workbook is recalculated in LibreOffice and by a second, independent formula engine on the sample data; the totals are compared with numbers worked out outside any spreadsheet, and every formula cell is scanned for errors. We don't run Excel itself on the build machine, so this says built for, not tested in — open the live preview to see the numbers the formulas produce.
What that means app by app: in Google Sheets, in Apple Numbers, in LibreOffice Calc.
The home page and its CSS — enough to publish a one-pager. A credit link stays in the footer.
Every page, the Pro-only pages, the source files, no attribution, and 12 months of updates and email support.
Use it for unlimited personal and commercial purposes, including client work.
Do not resell the spreadsheet itself, alone or in a bundle.
Type any date and the week lays itself out. Each day has four cells — breakfast, lunch,
dinner, snack — with a dropdown of your recipes, and under them the day’s cost (cost per
serving × people) and prep minutes, both looked up from the recipe list with one
SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(…)) per day. A meal that isn’t on the list turns red and counts nothing;
“Leftovers” is a recipe at zero cost so you can plan it on purpose.
Recipes gets its own sheet — category, servings, cost per serving, prep, notes — and shows how many times each was planned this week, so you notice when it’s pasta again. Shopping gets aisles: items, got and left per aisle, so you walk the shop once.
The build recalculates both workbooks in LibreOffice and in a second, independent engine and compares twenty-four values — cost and minutes per day and for the week, per person per day, meals counted, unknown-recipe count, recipe usage, what’s left per aisle — against numbers computed outside Excel.
First release
Type any date and the week lays itself out: seven day columns with real dates, fifteen time slots from the hour you start, weekends shaded, today highlighted. Planned and free hours per day are counted. Pro adds a Priorities sheet whose top three show on the week, a Friday Review sheet, and a formulas walkthrough. No macros.
Chores down the side, seven days across, and a rotation that says whose turn each one is this week — change the date and the chart re-deals itself. Ticks, minutes and what's still owed are calculated, and each person's share is worked out on minutes, not on the number of chores. Pro adds eight weeks of the rotation printed ahead and a People sheet comparing everyone against a fair share. No macros.
One row per day of the trip: dates from the start date, where you are, what you plan, and what it costs by kind. Daily and trip totals, per day and per person, against a budget. Pro adds a Budget sheet by kind, Bookings with confirmations and what's still to pay, and a Packing checklist. No macros.
