Free printable weekly meal planners: multiple designs. Save time (no more extra trips to store) & money (meal planning saves more than you can imagine).
Note: This post is in the process of being updated. I’m adding new planners over a few months. Check back to see if I’ve added new ones! (That’s also why the image at the top is out of date.)
I love free printable meal planners.One page and it’s done! You may ask why to bother with meal planning, though? You might have a general idea of what you’re going to make and just run to the grocery store when you need something.
There are two reasons:
• Meal planning saves you time. A lot of it. You might have to make a second trip for produce (we do most weeks), but a single grocery trip for the week saves you time. You also save time because there is no more debating what to make tonight- you already know.
• The second reason to use these free printable meal planners is that they save money. Seriously. When I first started saving money, I noticed money was draining away on groceries. And it wasn’t the regular grocery trips that were killing us. It was the trip to the store to grab steaks to grill and some macaroni salad on the side. Or for ice cream…and end up leaving the store with a dozen items.
One single trip to buy everything- especially if you stick to the list- saves money.

Instructions for Printing
- Print options: regular paper works just fine.
- All of the files are in pdf below. Just hit the “download” button (or pink word “download,” depending upon browser).
- The default size of these is full-page. However, if you want smaller, simply reduce the print size. If you’re not sure on how much to reduce, check out my post “How to Resize Printables to Fit Your Planner.”

Old Designs
I’ll be keeping these designs on here for awhile just in case anyone is fond of them. As I slowly update this post over the next couple of months, I might delete them. So grab and save them now if you really love them! (Plus, you might notice that the fundamental design- but touched up a bit- is available above for most of the designs).
Yes, this is technically a 2 week planner. It will be moved to the 2 week meal planner post when I get THAT one updated (can you tell I’m updating a bunch of stuff? Haha). In the meantime, here it is if you want it:
Same design is above in the “Weekly Meal Planners with Grocery List” section…but with a different background, thinner lines, and cleaner design. I’ll keep this on page for awhile, but probably not forever. So if you really like it, save to computer!

Love these. Thank you! I’m not sure which I like best. I’ll try them out to find the one that works for me.
That’s why I try to do multiple designs. I know I’ve re-designed the ones I’ve used over the years multiple times as my needs change. Hope one works out well. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
