On a couple of forums I'm on, I've seen people requesting a provisioning spreadsheet. So I finally dug mine out, cleaned it up a bit for others to use, and posted it for downloading on my blog, along with instructions on how to use it.

This morning, it dawned a me that maybe people here would be interested it in it, too.

Although I call this a provisioning spreadsheet, it's really a combination inventory and provisioning spreadsheet. It is NOT intended to be a recommendation of what you need on any particular trip -- that is up to you, what you like to eat, how many people are on board, and how long you'll be gone. This spreadsheet will allow you to decide what foods you want to have onboard, how many units of each you use in an average week, let you inventory how many you already have on hand, and then it will calculate how many you need to buy.

It it set up so that you can sort it to print only the items you need, and have those items sorted by category -- for example, all the "Baking" items you need will be grouped together so that when you're in the baking aisle of the store, you'll know ALL the things to put in the basket. This makes shopping a lot easier if you're buying for several weeks!

I'm including a link below. Hope it's helpful!
