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’d pick the Any Store plan. It looks so easy and manageable.
I would choose the low fat 4 plan. Currently… the hubby and I are spending close to $1000 a month on food because we are both busy and eat on the go. Having my sister and bro in law temporarily staying with us does not help when it come to the food bill either. This is an amazing idea and would love to see it in action!
I have you on my igoogle homepage <3
This site looks pretty cool. If I won this I would pick the any store plan. That would be the best for my family.

I like the low-fat meal plan for any store. I usually shop wal-mart but thought I should play it safe.
For the E-Mealz I would go the Aldi’s route. This is such a great idea…I used to have the time to plan meals, but with the kid’s getting busier it has been a challenge!!!!
I am a FB of both!
I shared on FB!
This site is really awesome! I would pick the Regular Family Meal Plans
(serves 7 meals for 4-6 people) for any store – since most of those stores aren’t by me. It’s just me and the hubs but I am thinking I can pare down the recipe size AND/OR freeze some for another meal later. Thanks for sharing this great site!
I would try the gluten free (any store) family meal plan. I’m just starting to eat gluten free and it would be such a big help!

I would go with the any store plan for 4. What a great service and a great giveaway!
I brought Browned Butter Rice Krispy Treats to the party today too! Thanks for hosting!
Hey Cheryl…just wanted to say “thanks” once again for hosting “I’m Lovin’ It” Fridays and please do not include me in the giveaway…we have no issues with planning meals now that it’s just me and my hubby. Appreciate the idea but would rather you give it to someone else if I were randomly selected. Have a wonderful weekend. Fondly, Roberta
I would choose the Ralphs Plan. Ralphs grocery store is 5 minutes from my house.
I get yous emails!
I “like” both you & E-Mealz on FB

Since my honey is diabetic, I’d go for the Low-Carb (any store) Family Mean plan! Thanks for this chance to win!
This sounds interesting. I follow with RSS
I’d choose the vegetarian plan, but not all my family is vegetarian so wonder if it could handle that…
