My roommates and I always run into the issue where we accidentally buy the same ingredient twice (we have a lot of cumin powder for some reason). Even more, my family is coordinating groceries between two households and eight people. Whenever you are at the grocery store, it is pretty easy to forget what you have in stock. As a result, I created

Grocery Inventory⁠

to keep track of key groceries you may need to buy.

Even though I don’t have a specific ingredient, I may not actually need it for the meals I planned for the next week! As a result, I created

Meal Plan⁠

to determine what foods I want to eat this week and what ingredients I need for each meal.

To culminate these two pages together,

Grocery List⁠

calculates what items you need to get at the store for next week.
