Meal Planning

One of our goals in setting up a working budget, was to create a more efficient meal plan/ shopping list. Far to often, I don't plan and just run out the door. Finding myself wandering with a two year old trying to climb out of the cart and fill his mouth with bananas and the other snacks I put in my cart. If he isn't trying to crawl out or eat what I am putting in the cart, he is trying to push the cart without my help of course. Before he was born I was a devout couponers. Once I had to manage him in the cart and the coupons... that rarely happens. I have started cutting and printing more coupons off before heading to the store, but I still needed a better solution. We have started eating a mostly clean eating lifestyle. I was excited to see that a meal planning service not only plans meals for the week, matches the items with local store sales, but also gives me clean eating meals and a grocery list! eMeals is the perfect tool for our crazy busy family who wants to have healthy quick meals! I also noticed that they have different family size options when you sign up. This would also be perfect for someone with a deployed spouse.


I then write down what we are having for the week in my fancy Erin Condren planner and on the fridge for all to see. I also found a coupon code SKINNY that you can enter for 20% off the meal plan order of your choice. Let me know if you use a meal planning service, use eMeals , or plan to to give eMeals a try!

In love with my eMeals plan!
