My new discovery

So, we just got back from a week in Florida visiting my brother Scott and his wife Traci. My parents and my brother Paul were there too. I am going to write a separate post about that later.. this one is to tell you about this super awesome thing that I've started doing.

So I can't remember where I heard about this program, but I had been looking into it for a little while and decided to just try it. I have only been doing it for a week, but I seriously love it. I don't know for sure if it has actually saved me money but what it has done is eliminated the need for me to decide what I'm making for dinner. I am sure I am spending more on groceries than before but that is mostly only because before we were eating mac and cheese or ramen and eggs for dinner or kinda just whatever we had in the fridge because I was too lazy to decide what to make. seriously. But when I went shopping this time, I felt like I was actually buying food and not just random crap. This program gives you a shopping list for five meals for the 2-3 person plan and I think 7 for the other plans. We are just doing the 2-3 person Walmart plan, and it makes plenty of food with left overs most nights. So far, the meals have been easy to make but they have been really pretty good. The only thing I really don't like about it is the need to go shopping every week. The other thing is that they only have you get enough for that week (this week they said to just get 8 oz of sour cream because that is exactly how much the recipe called for), so I bought more since I figured there is a good chance it will be in a recipe next week too. Anyway, I just thought I'd share that little bit of fun.
