Hi everyone! I thought with the new year here a new menu plan was in order! Since I’ve tapped out my own recipe ideas, I was really excited when the folks over at E-Meals asked if I wanted to check out their menus! I have to say they have some great options over there and I wanted to share them with you today!
What is E-Meals?
E-Meals is an online menu planning website that offers weekly menu plans for busy moms and wives! They have over 20 menu plans for families ranging from 2-6 people and in addition to their traditional menus they offer low carb, low fat, and vegetarian options as well!
One of the coolest things I think is that you can pick your grocery store! They plan their menus so that you get the best deals for your store! Each weekly menu also comes with a grocery shopping list, which many of you have asked me for!
And there are a bunch of new meal plans for 2013 to choose from!
- Classic Meals
- Clean Eating
- Simple Gourmet
- Paleo
- Low Carb
- Low Fat
- Portion Control
- Natural & Organic
- Gluten Free
- Vegetarian
So how does it work?
It’s so easy, you just choose which plan you want, print your list, head to the store, then come home to cook your meal! With E-Mealz it’s all planned out for you, and specific to your choice of stores as well!
What’s the cost? E-Meals offers three subscription options:
- 3 months for $21
- 6 months for $35.00
- 1 year for $58.00
One thing I like about the subscription is that if you pick a plan then decide you want to switch, E-Meals allows you to change your plan one time every subscription term! They also offer different recipes each week so no getting bored!
What did we think?
I was quite impressed with the meal variety that we tried. My kids didn’t love everything we made, but there were quite a few that they did like. I did skip a few meals they listed since I knew they wouldn’t eat them anyway, but it was really easy to do that and still have a full menu plan with the other recipes. And I think my family was happy to have some variations to our usual meals too!
My favorite thing is the grocery list. I picked my local store which made it really easy to shop each week. The recipes are also really easy to make. The meal, ingredients and instructions all fit on a one page printout which made it easy to reference during the week.
They also include individual prices for all the items on their list including which ones are on sale and in store specials! They also have a total cost for the week’s dinners (excluding tax) so you can help budget! How cool is that!

The nice people at emeals has offered a free 3 month subscription to one of my readers! YAY!
We are having a baby in April and I would love to try Emeals Classic! Seems like it could help out whoever is ‘helping out’ with the cooking for our family.
Classic meals looks good!
I would like to try the Clean eating or natural/Organic menu. I had tried Classic a couple years
ago and thought it contained too much processed ingredients, although the format was awesome.
I think the new plans would be a great match for my preferences.
I’ve used Emeals before and LOVED it! Unfortunately, once we started homeschooling, we had to cut back on expenses to afford curriculum and emeals is one thing that had to go – along with thegrocerygame.com (which I LOVE also!). I would love to start using Emeals again! Hopefully I’ll win!!!
Oh and we’ve used the Low Fat and Classic meal plans – both great! Best of all, my kids got used to the variety and were more willing to try new things!
Ohhh! They all sound so good-I am torn between the Classic Meals and Clean Eating. Thanks!
We love the gluten free plan. Works great for our family!
Classic meals
I’d have to go with classic to fit the whole family.
I like all the plans, but I might want to go for Gluten Free both to be thinking of my sister and to add more GF to my familys diet.
We are liking the paleo meals so far!
