“I made my favorite meal so far - Maple Glazed Pork Chops, Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Broccoli Salad. It was hard to decide which bite to take next because everything was SO GOOD!
It took me 28 minutes - thank you for all of this! We are getting so much for a very reasonable cost!”
- Debra
“This is exactly the kind of meal plan I was looking for -- clean eating, heavy on the veggies without being vegetarian, relatively frugal, tells me exactly what to do and in what order to get everything on the table in a reasonable amount of time.”
- Marjorie
“Today I went shopping for the turkey meal plan and spent only $35.52 at the store (which included items to restock my pantry).
I'm feeling very thankful that I signed up for this program.
Thank you for all your work on this!”
- Joy
... and I know how hard meal planning can be.
I'm an ordinary mom with two kids who had over $100,000 in debt when my husband and I got married.
We had to save money, but every aspect of meal planning overwhelmed me.
Eventually, I created two simple systems that saved me money, time, AND eliminated the stress of wondering "what's for dinner" every night.
I started teaching my systems to other families and nine years later, I'm now a grocery budgeting and meal planning expert.
My step-by-step methods have been featured in several media outlets, including Yahoo, Shape, Good Housekeeping, Prevention, Country Living, and CBN.
From one week to one month, 30 minute meals or budget-friendly dinners, we've got you covered.
Swap a meal, cross off ingredients or make extras for the freezer in just minutes.
Login every week to download a new meal plan based on what you need and recipes you love.

“Grocery shopping and the budget has been more streamlined.
I am not scrambling at 5:00 trying to figure out what to cook for supper.”
- Julia
“Mealtime is so much easier!
Just the fact that I don't have to plan... almost anything!
And I still get good family food on the table quickly is amazing.”
- Marjorie
