Maintaining a healthy, nutritionally balanced diet is essential to promoting total body wellness. The body requires a highly specific balance of micronutrients and macronutrients every day, many of which are neglected or not included in the standard modern diet. Meal planning is a highly effective way to ensure you’re providing your body with everything it needs to thrive, and can even help save money.
The average American household wastes more than 20 pounds of food every week in leftovers and poor meal planning, which amounts to more than $2000 USD worth of food every year.
Planning out your meals for the week can help to reduce this amount, and also helps with grocery shopping- statistics show that shoppers spend 40% more money when going grocery shopping without a plan.
By planning out your meals for the week in advance it’s easy to set up a balanced nutritional strategy and streamline the grocery shopping process, resulting in stress minimization and more free time. There are many options available to individuals and families seeking to track and plan their meals, such as apps, websites, and even meal delivery services.
Meal planning doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive, however. A new Kickstarter Gold crowdfunding campaign is presenting foodies with the opportunity to plan out their meals for the week in a simple, contemporary, and streamlined way with the What’s For Dinner Notepad.
In this article, we’ll check out the What’s for Dinner Notepad and assess its design to help you decide whether it’s worth backing.
What is the What’s for Dinner Notepad?
The What’s for Dinner Notepad is a new Kickstarter Gold campaign from the same creative team that launched the Foodie Dice Kickstarter last year. The What’s for Dinner Notepad offers a simple, elegant solution to meal planning– instead of requiring incessant app-updating or expensive meal delivery services is exactly as its name implies- a basic- but attractive- meal planning notepad.
The What’s for Dinner Notepad offers 50 sheets per pad, which provides 50 weeks of meal planning. Each What’s for Dinner Notepad sheet offers a meal planning section with an adjacent grocery list section, making meal and shopping planning simple and easy.
The What’s for Dinner Notepad also boasts a magnet on the back, making it ideal for attaching to the fridge, and offers a grocery list section that is broken down by category. Each What’s for Dinner Notepad is printed on 70lb FSC-certified paper with a perforated tear-away strip, and is made in the USA. The What’s for Dinner Notepad is also printed with gold metallic ink as part of the Kickstarter Gold campaign.

The What’s for Dinner Notepad can be ordered for a backing cost of $12, but there is another option available to meal planners seeking recipe inspiration- the Foodie Dice.
