As much as we love going to the grocery store (or not), we've found a way to make things interesting in this department. Beaumontbuzz.com is not in the habit of letting you in on non-local findings, but this website is too good to not share! E-mealz.com, the newest meal planning service, is a must-try for any family.

"E-Mealz has been created to provide a kid-friendly and family-uniting meal planning resource for busy Moms and frugal family cooks. Each meal plan is based on the current sales at the grocery stores, with plan options categorized according to store and/or weight management strategy. The recipes are delicious, simple and easy to follow. Each plan is new every week and has a corresponding aisle-by-aisle grocery list. Almost every week includes a crock-pot recipe and easy dinner ideas. There are meal plans for two people, for a low fat diet, a low carb diet, and for those who are following a point system, as well!"

This website is sooooo great! Aside from the fabulous aisle-by-aisle shopping guide, the recipes and pre-planned meals, the best part is that this service is for the budget-conscious. You are provided with coupons and other money saving tips as part of your e-mealz.com subscription. The cost is $15 per three months and your card is charged prior to each cycle's renewal date.

Money Saving Tips from E-mealz.com creator, Jane DeLaney:

#1 The shaving principle: Shave a little $ here, a little $ there. It will add up!
Example:
40 items in your grocery cart, each reduced by .50 cents = $20
$20 each week = $80 a month = 2 new pairs of shoes!

#2 Order coupons on-line. I order the exact coupons I need in multiples, ie Jiffy peanut butter. When those items go on sale, I power-buy! The coupons come in the mail already clipped! Go to Jane’s Coupon Tips for coupon links.

#3 Eat at home! The obvious benefit of this determination is the quality time and connection with your family!

#4 Have a meal plan and grocery list! Going to the grocery store without a list is money down the drain. You can save hundreds of dollars a year by keeping a meal plan with a list at your fingertips, ready to grab & go grocery shop. E-Mealz does this for you for a mere $1.25 a week, which is recouped many times over with the time and money you save. Most of the E-Mealz meal plans are budgeted for about $75 per week for seven family dinners! Now, that’s how you give yourself a raise!
