How to plan your weekly shop in under 10 minutes
Stress-free, efficient and without paper chaos
Do you know this? You’re standing in the supermarket, thinking about what else you actually need – and you end up buying twice or forgetting half of it. With a little preparation, this can easily be avoided. In this article, we’ll show you how to plan your weekly shop in under 10 minutes – with or without an app.
1. start with your recipe ideas
Think briefly about what you feel like eating over the next few days. They don’t have to be elaborate dishes – 3-4 rough ideas are enough: pasta with tomato sauce, oven vegetables, curry, wraps.
💡 Tipp: Use recipe inspiration from blogs, screenshots or family.
2. combine ingredients
Now make a note of all the ingredients – ideally not per dish, but together. Tomatoes for the curry and pasta? Only write them down once. This will reduce duplicate purchases.
🛠️ Or: Scan your recipes with My ReciNote – the app automatically recognizes ingredients, combines them and calculates quantities according to the number of people.
3. sorting by purchasing areas
If you want to shop efficiently, don’t criss-cross the store. Group your list by category: Fruit & vegetables, refrigerated section, dry goods, etc. This saves time and nerves.
📱 With My ReciNote, this happens automatically – even the order in the market usually fits.
4. check your supplies
Before you go: Do you still have rice in the cupboard? Or spices that you usually buy twice? A quick look will save you money and space.
5th bonus: Plan a leftovers day
Leave 1-2 days open for leftovers or spontaneous ideas. This ensures flexibility and prevents food waste.
Conclusion:
A structured shopping plan saves time, money and, above all, nerves. Whether you write everything down by hand or use the smart help of My ReciNote – the effect is noticeable. And the best thing is: after a few weeks, you’ll notice how easy it is to plan.
