The Ever-Growing Grocery bill

My food budget has gotten quite unmanageable lately.  With the hot summer evenings, I haven't wanted to cook much, so dinner was "out" most evenings.

But alas, the weather is cooling and school will be starting soon.  It's time for family meals around the table again....well at least something home cooked!

I found this neat little site called E-Mealz.  Here's their fancy little link:

It's really quite inexpensive; just $5.00 per month.  Why would I think that's inexpensive?  Because their meal plans, which can feed 4-6 people, are based on a $75.00 per week budget.  I don't know about other families, but we easily pay double that a week in groceries.  The $5.00 is worth it for me.  (On a side note, they also provide meal plans for 2 and those with special diets.)

It seems like it's going to be a great little service.  They provide a menu, recipe instructions and a shopping list organized by aisle.  No more looking in the fridge after work trying to figure out what I'm going to make for the family; no sitting down preparing my own menu and shopping list.

I'm excited to try this.

I just printed my first week's menu.  I'll let you know how it works out.

Blessings!
