Have you taken a look at the new meal plans that E-Mealz has recently added to help you choose the right food choices for you and your family? Hopefully you read the previous post, Meal Planning and Saving on the Grocery Budget, where I share my experience with this money and time saving service – if not, please check it out for yourself right now. Personally I am so pleased and can not imagine going back to my previous method of figuring out what to have for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The best part about using E-Mealz menu plan is less stress and time for me in planning, shopping and fixing the food for my family. At first I thought, “Ok, I’ll be paying for the convenience, but it is worth the $1.25 a week to simplify my life.” Well, yes, that has proven true – but here is the big surprise… E-Mealz is saving me MAJOR money on groceries. Compared to last year’s grocery bills, I have saved over $150 in just 2 months using their menu plans. Now given the cost of $10 for the subscription, that is good practical dollar and sense savings!

What takes so much time and is repeated over and over again daily? Providing food for ourselves and our families. While I enjoy many of the household tasks, menu and meal planning along with the decision making of what to eat has always been my least favorite task.
Ok, I’ll admit it, I hate meal planning. Oh, I’ve tried many plans and systems over the years and nothing has worked …until this easy to use plan. I have been using E-Mealz for awhile now and it not only works well for us, it is saving me money as well as time and aggravation. Read more

When I received an email from Jennifer Hill Robenalt introducing us to this software planner for families, I was skeptical because most software organizers just don’t work well for multiple people. Also, how practical would this really be for a family – yes I am tough to impress at times
.
I checked out the link for Cozi and was favorably impressed. From the web site samples it does appear that they have accomplished their goal to provide a one-stop “organizing solution” for the entire family.
The technology could very well be the key in getting your older children to actually use the planner – wouldn’t that make life so much easier! The color coding of multiple family members and being able to see all the schedules at once earns my attention
.
We encourage you to take a quick tour and view all the features. You can try Cozi for free and see how the features work for you and your family. Sometimes you find solutions when you least expect it!
