e-mealz

My best friend Jodi introduced me to e-mealz www.e-mealz.com It is endorsed by Dave Ramsey and is a meal planning menu to help with your budget. Although I was excited about possible saving some money I was more excited to have someone plan my nightly dinners and give me a shopping list!! We have been doing it for over a month now and love it!! My grocery bill has drastically dropped and we have loved all the meals we have made. We had been in a rut lately with eating the same thing over and over so it was nice to have new things to try.

The cost is $5 a month and every week they give you a menu AND provide a shopping list that is divided into categories (ex. produce, meat, etc) I can now get in and out of the grocery store much quicker and know I haven't forgot something. If you were to look in my cabinets and fridge right now you would think they are bare but that is just because I don't have a lot of random stuff in there that I bought thinking I "may" make this sometime. We buy what is told and use it that week.

You can choose different plans. We chose family of two, low-fat. They also have options for certain grocery stores and will cater the menu to items on sale at that store that week. I will say you have to be open minded about trying new things and there have been a few that I opted out of making but overall it's been great!
