Peri Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I do not like them. I have tried a couple and I just thought they were so bland and if I modify them to my liking it causes the budget to go up a little. Are there any other sites that have menus for a full day that are budget friendly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Not free but I love Emealz.com They have menus and a shopping list. LOVE them! http://www.e-mealz.com/ Edited March 2, 2011 by Faith added link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Also not free, but it's a book, so you can get plenty of use out of it. My copy of Saving Dinner has completely fallen apart and is held together by rubber bands :D. I find that if I follow her dinner plan, which is heavy on fresh veggies, I actually end up saving a lot of $$. It's not full day menus, but we just have pretty standard fare for breakfast (eggs, bagels, oatmeal, etc.) and lunch is often leftovers. There may be 2 recipes in the whole book that my family doesn't rave over. I love that it is arranged seasonally, so you're buying the vegetable that are in season. 8 thumbs up from our family.

Thanks for the suggestion. My local library system has it, so I requested it! One that I like is $5 Dinner Mom. She has a website and a book. Actually she just came out with a breakfast/lunch/snack book on the same idea. That Dinner Book has helped us alot! I have a 4 week menu. Once we are done, we start over basically. I do have a few back-up meal ideas when the planned meal will not work (like I forgot to defrost the meat!). Also, if you don't like a recipe, then you can fill it in with a different one.

She also has some breakfast and lunch ideas (not free) on her website. They are usually tastie and healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
