Get a full week of meals planned in 10 Sunday minutes
For busy UK adults who are tired of last-minute shops and wasted food. A printable A4/A5 planner with a 60-second kitchen audit, one-page meal grid, smart shopping list and leftovers plan.
The average UK household of four throws away about £1,000 of edible food a year, so using what you already have and planning leftovers directly protects your weekly shop.

No more 6pm 'what's for dinner?' panic
You open the fridge on Wednesday and actually know what's for dinner because it's already on your grid. No scrolling, no takeaway default.
A shorter, calmer supermarket shop
Your checkbox shopping list stops impulse buys and duplicate purchases. You walk in, tick, and leave in 20 minutes instead of wandering.
Use what you already own first
The 60-second kitchen audit shows you the milk, cheddar and frozen chicken already in stock. You cook from that first and avoid buying it twice.
Leftovers become next-day lunches
You tick the Leftovers box on Sunday and plan Tuesday's lunch from Monday's dinner. Less waste, more money back in your pocket.
Ten minutes, then you're done
Set a timer, fill the one-page grid, and you're finished before the kettle boils. The mental load lifts for the whole week.
Stop throwing money in the bin
With a prep time note and waste-saver prompts, you use ingredients before they go off. You feel the relief of a clear fridge on Friday.

Questions
I don't have 10 minutes on Sunday. Will this actually fit?
The guide is built around a 60-second kitchen audit and a one-page grid. Most people fill it in between 8 and 12 minutes with a timer on. If you have less, do the audit and breakfasts first and finish the rest later.
I've tried meal planning before and didn't stick with it.
This isn't a perfect plan, it's a realistic one. You start by recording what you already own, so the plan is honest. The weekly review page helps you adjust what didn't work instead of abandoning it.
Is this complicated? I'm not a planner.
No. It's a printable with boxes to tick and a table to fill in. Use a blue pen for dates, red for meals, green for prep notes. No recipes required, just the meals you already like.
Will this work for one person or a family?
Yes. The grid has breakfast, lunch and dinner rows for each day. Plan for one or for four, and use the leftovers box to scale portions up or down.
Do I need special software to print?
No. It's a standard A4/A5 PDF you can print at home or at a library. It uses UK DD/MM/YYYY dates and fits on one page for easy fridge posting.
How do I get my copy?
Straight after payment you're taken to your download page, and Stripe emails you a receipt. If anything goes wrong, email rhysh1264@gmail.com and we'll send it directly.
Can I get a refund?
If the file is faulty or not as described, we'll fix it or refund you. See the refund policy for details.
