I had a long list of resolutions this year, one of which included meal planning and being better organized with my grocery shopping.  I’ve known for a long time that I probably spend more money than I need to at the grocery store, especially when I ended up throwing much of it out because I buy something without a plan.

And for years I’ve watched as my friends Zareen and Julie do weekly meal plans.  I always thought it was uber organized of them and something I’d probably never find the time to do.

But this year I was determined to try it out.  With the help of E-Mealz.com, I am now three weeks into successfully meal planning!  I’ve been making amazing meals, saving money on my grocery bill and impressing my family with  a variety of dinners.  Typing this, I feel like I sound like an infomercial but it’s genuine, people.   Meals at the Wingerd house have been taken to a whole new level and I’m loving it.

See, E-Mealz.com makes it easy.  As much as I like to say I’m creative, I’m not.  Each week E-Mealz.com tells me what to make.  I love it.  They include the recipe and a grocery list, sectioned off by aisle in your grocery store.  It could not be easier.

What’s nice too is that we never really need 7 full nights of meals in a week.  We do leftovers some nights, others (like on weekends), we’re out.  So you also can pick the best meals out of the weekly bunch.  I’ve been averaging doing 4-5 of the E-Mealz.com on any given week.

Also awesome, you can pick the meal plan that works for you.  Sample meal plans are available to help you make your decision.  (At first I started with the “Portion Control Meal Plan” but recently switched to the “Low Fat” option.  You are allowed to change your meal plan only once so be sure when you pick!)
