Worksheet 2 of 5

Plan five dinners without pretending every night will go perfectly

Each dinner gets a use-first ingredient, the missing item to buy, and a backup meal. Two flexible spots leave room for leftovers, plans changing, or a low-effort dinner.

  • Five planned dinners
  • Two flexible meal spots
  • Use-first and missing-item columns
  • A backup for every dinner

One short loop

Every worksheet answers one specific decision

  1. 1What food should shape this week?
  2. 2What are we actually eating?
  3. 3What is missing, and what did the trip cost?
  4. 4How much of each paycheck is assigned to groceries?
  5. 5What is the next job for every leftover?

Worked example included

See the monthly target connect to a real trip

The example converts a $650 monthly grocery target into $300 from each of 26 biweekly paychecks. It then shows five dinners, a $150 trip limit, a $143 estimated list, a $147 checkout, and $3 left.

This is an illustrative example. Replace every price and amount with your own.
