Grocery Lists Make Life So Much Easier

One of the most important spreadsheets I've created for Mad Munch is our Grocery List.  Rather than writing out a list every week, I just cross off items & fill in the document.  This way you can keep track of your inventory levels & use those numbers to calculate how much supplies you need for the next week.

This was one of the first drafts of the Grocery List that I made & printed out from the front desk at Best Western:

I modeled it somewhat off of Seaport Meat Company's Inventory Price List.  I like the table format since the lines help keep things organized.  Leaving blank spaces is a plus, because I almost always end up writing in special items for the Cheezer of the Month or to try out for future experiments.

Every few months, I'll update the sheet to update prices & delete or add new ingredients.  I'll usually printout anywhere from 10-20 copies & when I use them all up it's time to update again.  This was what the first printout looked like (check out the low prices):
