I talked about it last week that I was strongly considering trying the E-mealz because my weekly meals really needed a pick me up. In fact, I haven't even posted my Weekly Menu because it's basically the same things I had already posted. B..O..R..I..N..G!!
I was listening to the Friday Edition of The Dave Ramsey Show and I heard the advertisement for E-Mealz again. I was on my way home from my weekly shopping excursion. I spent $1.04 OVER my weekly budget. I found it ironic because that's what it would cost me a week to join E-mealz with the code: DAVE. No joke.
What is it?
E-Mealz is a menu planning site that not only comes up with a meal plan, it gives you recipes and a shopping list for 7 meals a week.
You can choose between Kroger, Publix or Walmart and your menu plans are built on what is on sale that week. I chose to do the ANY STORE PLAN because I bop between stores so much and although I do have a SuperWalmart close to me - it's not my first choice grocery store.
They also have special needs for families such as LO-CARB, LO-FAT or POINTS SYSTEM for families or ANOTHER plan if you are just cooking for 2.
Although I have a basic outline of my Weekly Menu this week because I went shopping yesterday instead of Tuesday because we are supposed to get "substancial" snow again (man I am so incredibly tired of SNOW), I downloaded my first week's menu.
What's the Menu Look Like?
Sounds pretty good -

What's the Menu Look Like?
Sounds pretty good -
- Mexican Meatloaf
- Spicy Pork Tenderloin
- Raspberry Chicken Salad (using rotisserie chicken that I can get FREE at work!)
- Sausage Fajitas (using smoked sausage that ALWAYS goes on sale)
- Chicken and Rice bake
- Cauliflower Cheese Soup
- Tater Tot Casserole
And recipes look very easy too. Not that I will do 100% of my weekly meals based on this, but it sure puts a few more options into my boring menu list and doesn't seem to cost an arm & a leg.
I'm sure a brunt of the shopping list may be done at Aldi, but I 'll let you know how I do with the recipes and what the price list comes up to be.

Thanks for posting about this, I was wondering if you had joined.
The recipes look awesome!!
I'd been hem-hawing about joining. You know, more money out isn't something I was too interested in... but I really fell into a rut and I felt I needed a little help. Especially when my job starts getting hot and heavy and it'll be a time saver too.
:)
