e-mealz

I despise coming home from work, opening the pantry or the fridge and thinking "What am I going to make for dinner?" And, on top of that, Mike and I are trying to watch we we eat, so the question becomes, "What can I make for dinner that's healthy?" Thats the real challenge.

e-mealz to the rescue!

e-mealz creates a meal plan for you. It's based on how many people you want to feed, if you have any dietary restrictions, and the local grocery store nearest you. Mike and I chose the specialty meal plan based on the points system. And I selected WalMart as our local grocery store. In those meal plans, they list out all the food you need for each dinner. It also lists the going price for those products at the store you selected. This is great because if you're on a budget like we are, you can know exactly how much your dinners will cost you for the week!

It costs me $15 to have this service for 4 months. (Actually, I had a coupon code so it really only cost me $12.50. If you want the coupon code, leave me a comment below and I'll send it to you.) Now before you think "She spent $15 for someone to make her meal plans for her?" DARN RIGHT I did! Hey - thats like 5 cups of coffee at Starbucks. I'll give that up in a heartbeat to have someone tell me what to make for dinner every week!

In the long run, it pays off. Here's an example. Normally I spend $125 every week or so at WalMart or Kroger on groceries (that includes breakfast, lunch, and dinners.) Last night, I spent $98 for both of us for the entire week - again - that includes breakfast, lunch, and dinners. The e-mealz plan is dinner for 5 days; but tonight as an example, we had enough left over that it will feed Mike and I for lunch tomorrow. The plan for dinners for this week, based off of our selections cost us $45. HELLO! $45.00 for DINNER for us for the ENTIRE week.

Normally I don't like to push products on my friends, but this one, if you've got the $$ (which, it will actually SAVE you money because you won't be purchasing food you dont need) I would HIGHLY recommend it!!!
