There is some confusion in the marketplace revolving around our meal planning website www.emealsforyou.com and one called e-Mealz.  While both sites provide meal plans we think you should have the facts before you decide.

e-Mealz:

It is our understanding that e-mealz is a subscription service that you sign up for and download a weekly Adobe pdf file  based on what that individual grocery store you picked has on sale that week. The service charge for this is $15 per quarter ($60 per year), automatically charged to your credit card until you send them a note to stop. You receive, depending on the plan, either 5 or 7 dinner meal ideas and a shopping list for these meals.

The upside is you are able to plan your meals for the week and save money as the ingredients are on sale.  The downside is that you have to like the recipes they send you and use the ingredients they recommend; including many canned soups, sauces and ingredients.  Meal plans fall into two categories: Family – 7 dinners for 4-6 people and Regular – 5 dinners for 2 people.  e-Mealz provides only the prescribed meals per week; no substitutes, if you don’t like one or two, they tell you to simply cross those ingredients off the shopping list.  More importantly if your kids won’t eat what they suggest, you are right back to where you started from: planning several meals without help.  There is no opportunity to change the meal plans or to pick meals and desserts other then the dinner plans they provide.   Based on the Internet comments regarding this service many become bored with the meals and feel locked in to what e-Mealz thinks they should be eating.
