How to
Obtain Cost of a Shopping List, Meal Plan, Recipe, or Serving
NYC calculates the cost of your shopping list, which is
auto-created from meal plans. Meal plans are created from recipes. So NYC costs out whatever recipes are in your
meal plan.
To get the cost of a
shopping list:
- Use
the “List Cost” toolbar button to obtain the cost of any
shopping list.
To get the cost of a
meal plan:
- Create
and save the meal plan (Menu…Plan…, then File… New Menu…
to create a new meal plan). The meal plan’s shopping list is auto-created
when you save the meal plan.
- Use
the “List Cost” toolbar button to obtain the cost of the shopping
list created for your meal plan.
To get the cost of a
recipe:
- Include
only that recipe in a new meal plan, and save the meal plan. The meal plan’s shopping list is auto-created
when you save the meal plan.
- Use
the “List Cost” toolbar button to obtain the cost of the shopping
list for the meal plan, which includes only the 1 recipe.
To get the cost of “N”
servings of a recipe:
- Use the Copy button on the recipe selection toolbar to save a copy of the recipe with a new name, e.g., change “Chili” to “Chili (1 serving)”.
- Open
the copy of the recipe in recipe edit window and resize it to “N”
serving(s) (e.g., 1 serving) and save. NOTE:
You must have “allow resized recipe to be saved”
checked in Tools… Options… Editing… for the Save to
work.
- Include
only the “N”-serving(s) version of the recipe in a meal plan. The
meal plan’s shopping list is created when you save the meal plan.
- Use
the “List Cost” toolbar button to obtain the cost of the
automatically created meal plan, which now includes only the “N”
serving(s).
