I agree with the comments made previously…there were usually menus that my crew would not eat. I really like the idea of posting several choices and letting subscribers choose their weekly menu, I also previewed a new similar program: $5 Meal Mom. Same results. This plan was very heavy on Tex/Mex which we don’t eat al all!

My Mom mentioned this to me a few weeks ago – she has tried the Wal Mart one and has liked it. I didn’t realize there were Paleo and Slow Cooker options, too…. cool!

I wish one of these sites would list all the recipes and then let YOU click on 7 of them and then create your personlized grocery list.

By the time you leave off and add to “their” plan, the beauty of it is gone. Printing the list and off you go is why it’s great.

I’d sign up in a second if you could do it like that. I subscribed for 3 months and by the time I took of fish recipes because my dh is allergic to fish and any nut recipes for allergic son, etc. I ended up like you-just using it for a recipe source.

We have used emealz on several occasions, but never fully as intended. Often there would be just one or two recipes on the plan that I knew my family would not care for, so I had figure out which items on the grocery list could be deleted. I would have to plan a substitute meal for those times, and of course that added time and expended energy to using it. I find that it works for me if I just have a rotating schedule of weekly meal plans (including grocery lists) that work for us and just rotate those plans every two months or so. I also have a weekly plan for the holiday weeks and also for those weeks that we have guests in town. I use my Cook’n software for this. Meal planning is essential for saving time and money in our home.
