Since Excel has proven so useful for budgeting and organizing all my brain dumping tasks, I decided to create some spreadsheets for meal planning, food inventory and grocery shopping. However, due to Coronavirus, people hoarding groceries leaving empty shelves and sometimes having to queue due to limits on the number of people allowed in a shop at one time I’ve had to be a bit more organized with my meal planning and grocery shopping beyond just the week ahead.
