Here's the closeups:

On the side we have the days labeled 1-P for Poakahi, Poalua, Poakolu, Poaha, Poalima, Poaono, Lapule and 5 spaced for writing 3 meals and 2 snacks per day.

I split up the store by these sections, but you can do it how your store is set up or what makes the most sense to you. Here's what I have:

• Lau Ai (leafy foods)
• Hua Ai (fruits)
• Io/Ia (meat/fish)
• Pahu Hau (fridge section)
• Waiu (milk possibly dairy section)
• Kini (canned food)
• Mea Ono (treats)
• Ai Mama (snacks)

What's your weekly meal plan going to be next week? Don't know yet? Give this a try!
