E-Mealz

If you're like me and have a love/hate relationship with cooking (I love to eat, just hate to cook/clean up after!), then you will love E-Mealz. I found E-Mealz by googling "meal planning" one day because for me, it had just gotten to the point where meal planning and figuring out what to cook that week was becoming such a burden. I work full-time (nights, at that!) and don't have the time nor the energy to plan an elaborate meal for every day. Of course, we are on a budget, so that means not eating out all the time, either. Enter E-Mealz!

Since joining back in September, it has made my life SO MUCH EASIER. And at $5 a month, you really can't beat it.

How it works:

Sign up for a meal plan. There are lots to choose from (i.e. Low fat, Vegetarian, Family or Couple, Weight Watchers, etc), plus you get to choose the store you shop at and the meal plans for that store are based on the sales that week (which saves you even MORE money!) Cool, huh? :)

Every week you log into E-Mealz.com and print off your meal plan along with the grocery list. We subscribe to the Family Low Fat, Any Store plan and I usually pick my 3-4 favorite meals (they give you 7 to choose from! make all 7 that week if you want!) and cross off what I dont need from the grocery list from the meals Im not making, and then just go shopping! It has really reduced our grocery bill and improved my sanity. I am an avid coupon clipper, so that helps even more with saving costs.

I hope you'll give E-mealz a try and love it just as much as I do! :)
