e-mealz

Two days with E-mealz and it has honestly - I'm serious here - HONESTLY - been two days that have been stress-free as far as meals go and delicious to boot!

We shopped and everything on the list was exactly where it said it would be in the store. The prices were for the most part spot on. There were a few items that were higher, but it was only a nickle of so, nothing outrageously different.

I cooked both seafood meals first because I wasn't sure/comfortable about re-freezing shrimp and catfish. Last night's Shrimp Creole was restaurant delicious. Tonight's Rancho Catfish was really good. I'm a catfish girl anyway, but even David said, "This is really good! The salsa makes a big difference." I, of course, didn't put the salsa on mine, but chose straight lemon juice - it was really good and so easy to prepare.

The rest of the meals include London Broil, Chicken & Mushrooms over Linguine, Loaded Nachos, Chicken Cordon Bleu, and Blueberry Pancakes! The total cost for purchasing items for the 7 meals was less than $80. And, that includes sides. Yep - less than $80 for 7 meals that feed 4 people. Again, I get nothing from this - the e-mealz people have no idea who I am, but I am really happy I happened upon them when doing a web search for this week's shopping.

So, a review of e-mealz shows:

• pre-planned menus for your local store of choice based on sale ads.
  
• shopping list
• easy recipes

Having the menus/shopping list centered around my store of choice (Publix) saved us a tremendous amount of money. The food for the last couple of nights has been great. All this for $5 a month makes e-mealz a 5 star plus for me.

I get nothing from posting this. If you decide to give it a try, use the coupon code "Dave" and you'll get a discount. Even without the discount, it's worth it to me not to have to search/trudge through recipes before I go grocery shopping.
