Zovo Meal Planner
Turn a weekly meal plan into a merged grocery list and a printable week grid.
Zovo Meal Planner takes the meals for your week and their ingredient lines, scales each recipe to the number of people you cook for, adds up the same ingredient across the week with unit conversion inside one dimension (cups with tablespoons, grams with pounds), and groups the shopping list by store section. You get a printable PDF with the week grid and a checklist, plus CSV and text versions.
What it does
- Reads fractions, unicode fractions, ranges (2-3 uses the larger amount), words like a pinch, and units from tsp to gallons, ml to litres, grams to pounds, cans, cloves and bunches
- Merges the same ingredient across meals: onion, diced and 2 onions become one line
- Volume is added to volume and weight to weight; volume is never turned into weight
- Scales each recipe from its servings to the number of people you cook for
- Store sections: produce, meat and fish, dairy and eggs, bakery, pantry, frozen, spices, other
- Already-have list removes items you own; lines it cannot read are kept as written for you to check
- Printable PDF with the week grid and a grocery checklist, plus CSV and plain text

Limitations
- No nutrition, calorie, health or diet advice; amounts are shopping quantities
- Volume and weight of the same food stay on separate parts of one line (for example 1 cup + 8 oz cheese)
- Ingredient names are matched by simple rules; very unusual wording may stay as its own line
- No store prices, stock or online ordering
