Various Kinds of Household Planners – Menu Planner, Shopping Planner
Various kinds of menus can be planned, as per the demands of the family or availability of the groceries. The Canned Menu is capable of providing meal possibilities to a family for one month. While planning for canned menu, the entire menu’s grocery list should be made. For meal possibilities, ideas can be derived from everyday cooked food and cookbooks.
The Menu Planner can be used for organizing another meal plan called a running meal log. In most of the cases, the basic menu plans do not work either because of shortage of time to cook the meal or shortage of ingredients as it has been eaten by someone. The menu list can resemble a restaurant menu if the entrees are categorised by type and side dishes are grouped separately. Homemakers usually prefer the usage of coloured chalks to write the menu.
The Block Type Menu Planner is meant for one week, including the four meals of the seven days. The planner is divided into seven rows and four columns, mentioning the days and meals like breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack. Each block enables you to write the planned menu. There are also planners that enable you to plan for a single meal in all the days of the week. For example, the Monthly Lunch menu provides six columns as per the weekdays and weekends and five rows as per a month, for planning the lunch menu. This kind of menu is available in various designs.

The file is designed in such a manner that it will be printed in a back to back manner so that it can be cut off from the middle.

The Grocery List is also of immense help. In this list, the main items are written and a tick can be made beside the required items so that nothing is forgotten while shopping for the essential items. The items are usually written under a category. For example, eggs, milk, butter, etc. belong to the category of dairy. The use of Daily List and Daily Memorandum can also be availed to write the items needed to be bought. The page also contains a memorandum for all the seven days of the week, providing space for each day.
