Full details
The B&Q MagFlex Meal Planner Fridge Magnet is designed for busy individuals and families looking to streamline their weekly meal preparation and grocery shopping. Its key benefit is providing a clear, organized overview of meals, reducing last-minute stress and food waste. A potential caveat is its reliance on dry-erase markers, which may fade over time if not properly maintained. This sleek, modern planner features a clean layout for daily meal entries and a dedicated shopping list section, all on an easy-to-clean, magnetic surface.

FAQs
What size is the meal planner?
The exact dimensions are not specified, but it is designed to fit standard refrigerator doors without being overly large.
Can I use permanent markers on it?
No, only use dry-erase markers. Permanent markers will likely stain the surface and cannot be easily removed.
What kind of marker is included?
A black whiteboard dry-erase marker is included with the planner.
How do I clean the planner if it gets stained?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth or whiteboard eraser. For stubborn stains, use a specialized whiteboard cleaner, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Can this be used on surfaces other than a refrigerator?
Yes, it can be attached to any flat, magnetic surface, such as a metal whiteboard or a metal filing cabinet.
Does it come with other colors of markers?
Typically, the planner comes with one black marker. Additional colored markers can be purchased separately.
Is the shopping list section separate from the meal plan?
Yes, the planner features a distinct section for your weekly shopping list, allowing you to note items as you plan your meals.
Troubleshooting
Planner is not sticking to the surface.
Ensure the planner's magnetic backing and the target surface are clean and dry. Test on a different, known-magnetic surface. Some textured or older refrigerator doors may have weaker magnetic properties.
Marker writing is difficult to erase.
Use a high-quality dry-erase marker. For residue, use a whiteboard cleaner or a cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Avoid leaving marks on the surface for extended periods (over a week).
The dry-erase marker has dried out.
Replace the marker. Any standard dry-erase marker can be used with the planner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the MagFlex Meal Planner and the included whiteboard marker.
- Ensure the magnetic surface (refrigerator, whiteboard, etc.) is clean and dry.
- Place the planner onto the desired magnetic surface. It should adhere firmly.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with all standard magnetic surfaces, including most refrigerators, freezers, and metal whiteboards.
- Requires a dry-erase whiteboard marker for writing. Any standard dry-erase marker will work, but the included black marker is recommended for optimal performance.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth or a standard whiteboard eraser to wipe away markings. For stubborn marks, a whiteboard cleaner spray can be used sparingly.
- Maintenance: Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the dry-erase surface.
- Marker Use: It is recommended to erase markings within a few days to prevent ghosting or permanent staining. Store markers with caps on tightly to prevent drying out.
