I’m Lovin It – E-Mealz {meal planning} Giveaway

I have to be honest…….I ‘ve never been one to meal plan. I’m a fly by the seat of your pants kind of meal planner. I don’t shop with a list, unless there are some very specific items I need to be sure I don’t forget. I usually wing it at the store. I know the meals my family likes, and then I try and pick up staples that I know come in handy for most recipes I might discover on another blog or magazine.
I’m pretty sure I know WHY I don’t do “meal planning”……..because it’s just one more thing “to do” in my busy day. It takes time to sit down and look up recipes, think about what items I will need to buy and check to see what I already have.
Then one day E-Mealz contacted me! Truthfully, my fist thought was, yeah…another meal planning site, where I do all the work — no time for that! But I wanted to be fair and give it a look……and guess what? E-Mealz does ALL of the work for you!!……..well, everything but shopping and cooking! lol……but I can handle that part!
Imagine having someone who plans your meals around weekly deals at your grocery store, creates your grocery list, and then….only charges you $5 a month…THAT is what E-Mealz does!!
I LOVE it!

I have LOVED the simplicity of printing out my list each week, and heading to the store with a plan.

I would probably go with the Walmart or Aldi meal plan for 2. Hard to know which to choose. 🙂
I’d choose the Walmart plan 🙂 Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful weekend, Cheryl!
I linked up some berry muffins and a smoothie 🙂
I would definitely choose the WalMart or Aldi plan for 4-6…I’m at both of those stores at least twice/week…;)

Yeah…it’s a toss up between Kroger and Aldi family meal plan. Meal planning is the worst and most stressful part of my week. I’d soooo love having someone else do it for me!

E-Mealz looks amazing…Thank you. Following them on Twitter now. Going to try the Kroger plan since that’s where I shop. Will keep you posted.
What an awesome service! I could totally use this as part of my busy day to day grind! I would go with the low-fat Publix family plan. I think that looks to be the closest to what I plan for my family now.
I *love* this idea, it’s so fantastic. I would go with the Publix plan since it where I work and shop. Love their sales and quality. This site makes it simple and you could use the recipes over and over if you so chose to.

I have always wanted to try E-Mealz. I think the low carb plan for 2 would work well for us now that all of our kids are heading to college.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
