Printable Master Grocery List and Template

Simplify meal planning by using the same list every week. This printable master grocery list will help you get organized.

I’ll admit that sometimes I get in a rut and cook the same things over and over. But I also crave trying new things.

If you need ideas, check out my Pinterest board for weeknight family meals. And if you’re new to meal planning, start with my Ultimate Meal Planning Guide.

When I sit down and make my weekly meal plan and shopping list, I tend to do one of two things. Either I write down all the same things I usually buy or I start blankly, wondering what I normally do because I can’t think of a single thing I want to cook.

This month I decided to save myself a ton of time – and you too – by creating a printable grocery list. It’s an easy shortcut that will save time on meal planning each week.

You can find this printable in the bundle of 36 life organization printables or by itself below!

Items that I always buy

There are a dozen grocery items that I always have on hand. They’re the most common staples I can use to make a dozen different meals my family loves.

Taking Inventory

Before you start making a list, you need to know what you already have. Grab the printables too:

• Pantry Inventory
• Freezer Inventory
• Herb and Spice Inventory

Printable grocery list

A master grocery list is simply a checklist of things you buy most weeks. It saves you time because you can just run down the list and highlight what you need. There’s also space to add a few things in each category.

Because I know everyone doesn’t have the same diet and cooking routine, I designed two different printables. One is a list of the most common items in each category (and space to write in 3 more).

The other is a blank grocery list template with categories and lines – so you can create your own master grocery list.

My printable grocery list is broken down into 12 categories:

• meat
• bread and grains
• snacks
• produce
• baking
• cans, jars, and beans
• herbs and spices
• refrigerated
• frozen
• other
• household
• personal

The blank and pre-filled versions are included as a PDF in the download. Print your list on 8.5×11-inch paper or scale it down smaller. All printables are for personal use only.
