Woohoo, it’s Friday! We are loving hosting this Fabulous Friday party each week. It’s so much fun to get to know you guys and your blogs and just learn some neat tips and tricks from each of you about what you’re finding that’s “fabulous” each week!
We think E-MEALZ Easy Meals for Busy and Frugal Families is fabulous this week, and really all the time! But, we wanted to feature them this Friday in case you haven’t heard how awesome they are and we have an EXCLUSIVE COUPON CODE for our readers to receive a discount also!
Do you frequently find yourself running home from work, trying to fit in a workout or time with your kids and then staring blankly into the fridge trying to figure out what’s for dinner? I know I used to find myself in that spot ALL the time. Then inevitably, we’d end up eating takeout, or a frozen pizza, fatty pasta etc.
Well, luckily E-mealz comes to the rescue in situations like this! It is an online menu planning service that offers a menu plan for busy moms, newlyweds learning to cook & families. They have over 20 menu plans for a family ranging from 2-6 based on options that include low carb, low fat, point system, and vegetarian as well as different grocery stores and mass retailers. This way they can help families save money based on weekly sales at their chosen grocery store. It essentially takes care of the “What’s for dinner?” question quickly and cost effectively.
Even if you don’t know how to use coupons, just by having a meal plan on shopping based on what’s on sale, you’ll save lots of money & time with this plan! Since I am a couponer, I tend to spend even less money than they project because I shop my stockpile first. For instance, if there’s canned corn on the shopping list to go with one meal, and I have frozen broccoli on hand, I substitute that in. I also use coupons that I find in databases like Hot Coupon World to bring the price down as well. I also may decide that I don’t want to make one of the meals because my husband won’t like it and instead substitute in a family favorite or something we already have on hand that we can make for free or close to it.
Fabulous Friday Linky Party: Third Edition BONUS: Coupon Code for E-mealz
Their goals are to provide
E-mealz is only $5 a month and keeps your dinner grocery budget for 2 people between $35-$45 for the week & between about $70-$80 for families of 4-6. But with the coupon code savemoney that use can use from us you’ll receive over 10% off your first purchase of a plan at E-mealz, how great is that?!
If you have any questions about the program, feel free to ask. Have any of you tried it? If so, what did you think? I certainly wish that someone would’ve told me about E-mealz when I had first gotten married, had no idea how to cook, no idea how to meal plan, and definitely no idea how to save money at the grocery store. In fact, this would make an INCREDIBLE cost effective wedding or shower gift!
Here are the rules for our Fabulous Friday Linky Party, let’s get to partying!

Thanks for the invite! Looks like lots of awesome ideas here!!
I'm visiting from SITS, I LOVE this!! I have recently been working on meal planning, and I'll take all the help I can get!
Oh, me likey likey. I need a plan.
Now this is just the kind of thing I need. Personally, I hate cooking already, but I hate it even more when I also need to figure out what I'm making (usually at 4 p.m., right around when the Babby is getting hungry herself).
