If you’re anything like me, your poor family gets one of ten meals over and over… and over… and over again.
After a ten hour day, staring down the eyes of three more hours of late night work, I’ve been unable to plan any sort of decent meal.
Take on the crazy notion that I can last two months without dining out and I set myself up for disaster…
Or did I?
I heard an advertisement for E-mealz and decided to give it a shot the same day I promised my husband to say no to dining out. If you’ve never heard of E-mealz, let me give you the quick run-down. E-mealz is a weekly menu planning resource with over 28 menu options to choose from – including meals for two, meals for four, points system meal plans, and a gluten free menu (hint hint to my sister Lizzy and her gluten free child). Once a week I log on, download my menu and my shopping list, make a 30 minute trip to the grocery store, and never think about dinner again until I’m in the kitchen for 30 minutes making it each night.
The menus rotate beef, chicken, pork, fish, and vegetarian dishes and *gasp* force me to try new things.
My sister-in-law (who works late into the night) frequently comes home, drops her bags on the floor, and calls ‘What’s on the E-mealz menu tonight?!? Smells so yummy!’ as she pulls up a barstool and serves a plate.
Weird. I never heard her say that when I made turkey wraps for the 15th time in a month.
I used to spend $120 a week on food. With E-mealz, I spend around $55. I’m not trying to sound like a walking advertisement but it’s hard not to share when you’ve found something that makes a chore easy and reduces your grocery budget by 50%. Membership is only $1.25 a week!
I approached the folks at E-meals and asked them if they would be willing to donate a one month subscription to one of my readers. Not only did they agree, they donated a 3 month subscription to give away AND offered 10% off for all BloggingAwayDebt readers.

And, the recipe for chicken puffs? It’s an E-mealz dinner! Wrap cooked chicken and cream cheese in a reduced fat crescent roll. Cook as instructed on the crescent roll directions. It’s AMAZING!!

Sounds very cool! I’m interested for sure!
Cool! I’d love to have a program like this!
What a coincidence, I’ve been talking to my wife recently about trying this out! Hope we win!
Hmm, just me and a couple hundred others who want to win this!
I have been working since 7:30 this morning. I just finished. I could really use e-mealz.
This sounds like a very good idea, may have to try it out at some point 🙂
