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!

LOVE the prize! Awesome!!! Anyway, I’m already a subscriber!!! (and loving every email!) I would love to try the ‘any store’ and ‘low fat’ meal plans!!! Perfect for my family!!!
I would use the “any story” option since none of the others are in my area. I sure miss Aldi since we moved from Missouri to No. Cal!
I visited the meal planning site and found it very interesting. I would choose the plan for 2, as there are just, er, 2 of us!

Since my son was diagnosed with celiac disease last year, one of my biggest struggles is trying to decide what to cook, while trying to stick to our budget by matching sales and coupons. Winning the G-Free Anystore meal plan would be a tremendous blessing! Thanks for making this available!
