For Those Who Paid the Highest Price

E-mealz

I cannot be more thrilled with E-mealz. The way their plan works, they offer many different menu options, family size options, and store options. I was able to fully check out the many offerings of menus and stores, look at a sampling of menus, and take it for a mini test drive. I signed up right away.

Staying on a food budget is difficult for me at times...most times. I can easily get distracted by the bright and shiny packaging as I meander down the isles. With the E-mealz plan, the menus for the week are done for me, the shopping list is done for me, and for the astronomical price of $1.25 per week. I am loving it!

We are on the first week of the plan. I opted for the WalMart plan for a family of 4. I still plan to shop at my local Krogers for the coupon match-ups for food but only if they beat out WalMart. I took my first week's shopping list, marked off the items that I had on hand, and went off to the store. After a whopping $35.00, I was SHOCKED!!! Yes, I have been to the store since, but for things like bread and milk and items for breakfast and lunches. These menus are for dinners only, but with those being the highest cost meal, I feel like I am way ahead. Now, if only I can get a handle on my impulse shopping and working on family cravings...I will have to set a mini budget aside for those "emergencies".

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I miss you terribly.

What Book am I Reading?

One September Morning by Rosalind Noonan.

I am sooooo loving this book. It was indicated as a thriller, and I can see that now that I am into the real meat of the story. I probably never would have picked it up had I not been looking for Jodi Picoult books and on the front cover of One September Morning, there is an endorsement from Jodi. I am so very glad that I picked this book up...I highly recommend this read.
