What can I use to make a weekly menu and grocery list?

If you usually buy the same things every week, it makes some sense to keep a file on the computer that you can print for each trip. Probably all you need is a simple list written in NotePad, one item per line. Being an übergeek, and because I almost always shop in the same supermarket, I made a list in a Word document. It's one page containing a table, 4 columns by about 45 rows, with the items listed by which store aisle they're in. Each item has a short underline where I can write the quantity to buy on the current trip. You could make a similar list in Excel, or even in Access or FoxPro. Or you could use a pencil... -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

A real übergeek would have the list integrated with his menu program. It would automatically decide what he should be eating, look up the ingredients, compare it to the stock-on-hand database, and send an online order to the grocery store. A real übergeek would also be re-programming his Roomba and his Sony dog-robot to cooperate to get the food out of the refrigerator, cook it, and bring it to the table. It would determine when to start cooking by tracking your location using your cell phone GPS so it would know when you had left work. Bob S |
