Thanksgiving is all about celebrating gratitude and enjoying a sumptuous meal with family and friends. But, creating the perfect menu and making sure you have everything you need can be a daunting task.
This free printable menu planner and shopping list are designed to make your Thanksgiving preparations a breeze.
USING YOUR THANKSGIVING MENU PLANNER AND SHOPPING LIST
Here's how using a menu planner and shopping list can help you:
Plan Your Menu
Start by listing all the dishes you want to serve. From the traditional turkey and stuffing to your family's favorite appetizers, sides, and desserts. The menu planner offers space to jot down everything you plan to cook.
Organize Your Recipes
Beside each menu item, you can note the source or location of your recipes. Whether it's grandma's secret stuffing recipe or a new dessert you found online, keeping track of your sources can be a real time-saver when it’s time to cook.
Create a Shopping List
As you decide on the dishes you'll be making, write the corresponding ingredients on your shopping list. This simple step ensures you won't forget any crucial ingredients when you head to the store.
Stay Organized and Stress-Free
With everything neatly organized, you can approach your Thanksgiving preparations with confidence and a sense of calm.
No more last-minute dashes to the store or realizing you forgot a key ingredient!

SUPPLIES I RECOMMEND FOR PRINTING
A PRINTER
If you’re going to be printing in color, I really recommend investing in an HP Instant Ink-compatible printer. The quality of the finished product is amazing! If you don’t need a color printer, I highly recommend a laser printer like the Brother L23 Series. You will save hundreds on ink. You can also get a color laser printer which I would LOVE to have!
PAPER
For everyday printables, planners, and coloring pages for the kiddos I normally use Hammermill Printer Paper, 20 Lb. I love that you can get a small box of 3 reams instead of having to buy one at a time or a whole case of 10.
If I want something a little nicer, I use this laser paper which is incredibly smooth and has very little to no ghosting on the other side. This is perfect if you like to use pens/markers that are prone to bleeding through to the other side.
For printing on A5 paper, I use this Blank 6-Hole Punched A5 Paper. You can also get it without the holes but it’s $6-7 more. Which I think is odd because it’s usually the other way around and you have to pay more for the hole punching.
If you're printing a binder cover that is fade-resistant and lasts a long time, I would recommend the best paper using Epson Presentation paper. It's heavy like cardstock (48 lb), is great when laminated, and is made to last for decades.
BINDING
When it comes to customizing your planner, the ARC binding system or other similar binders offer incredible flexibility and convenience.
With these systems, you can easily add, remove, or rearrange pages according to your changing needs, ensuring that your planner stays perfectly tailored to your lifestyle. Plus, you can unleash your creativity and design personalized covers or dividers, making it truly your own.
You can read more about Why I Love the ARC Binding System in this post.
Alternatively, if you prefer a professional touch, you can take your planner to a local printer like Staples, and they will expertly bind it for you.
