A meal prep spreadsheet changes everything. Plan your meals, generate a grocery list, buy exactly what you need, and stop wasting food.
The Problem With Meal Planning Apps
Meal planning apps charge $5-$15/month. They lock your data in their ecosystem. And many of them generate recipes you'd never actually cook.
A simple spreadsheet gives you more control with zero ongoing cost.

How Much You Can Save
Meal planning reduces food waste by up to 50%. If you're currently wasting $150/month, cutting that to $75 saves $900/year. Plus, you'll make fewer impulse takeout orders because you already have dinner planned.
Total potential savings: $1,200-$2,000 per year.
