Reader Ellie let me know about a program called e-mealz.com. E-mealz is a meal planning program that provides menu plans, recipes and a shopping list based on weekly grocery sales. I have to tell you that I am intrigued by the program. I like the idea of someone telling me what to cook and offering a variety of different recipes for my family to enjoy. I noticed several different menu plan options to suit family size and diets. Further, the membership cost is only $5 a month.
Did I mention it is Dave Ramsey approved?
I do have reservations about the program, though. The average weekly cost for dinners is $75-$80. Well, that’s my entire grocery budget for a week. I haven’t tried e-mealz.com, but I’m not sure it would work for my family. However, I strongly urge menu planning. You may want to give it a try if the membership cost is in your budget. Check out a sample menu here. I can see where this program could be beneficial to a lot of people.

Thanks, Ellie!
I have not heard of e-Mealz either. Thanks for the follow. I'm following you back. Should be interesting.
That site is an interesting idea. However, my favorite chore is making and menu plan, list and grocery shopping for the week, so I don't think it's a program I'll use. It would probably help me pare down my budget a bit though. I have goat cheese taste on a american cheese budget.
This site sounds like a great idea, but I agree that the meal prices sound a little high.
