I am not sure if this is the place to post about an online service but I suppose it is a product. I wanted to share this new meal planning service I subscribed for because it has been absolutely wonderful. It's called the Fresh 20. They plan a weeks worth of meals for 4 adults, or 2 adults and 2 children with leftovers, or 2 adults for dinner and lunch. My family was spending way too much money going to the grocery store and not planning effectively. We either bought too much and food spoiled, partially because we had no real plan for it, or we bought too little and then ended up eating out. Money was just flying out the window. But someone told me about the fresh 20 and we signed up for it and it has been wonderful. Basically you get a shopping list and 5 recipes for the week. The shopping list is always made up of 20 items or less. It uses similar ingredients throughout the week so you can buy in bulk and save or not be wasteful because you're forced to buy in a package that has more than you need for only one meal. You do need to have a bunch of pantry Staples but once you are stocked up they don't need to be replaced often. I chose to buy these in bulk too. The meals have been fresh, healthy and extremely tasty. They are super filling with tons of food and my husband and I are big eaters. We have had leftovers for lunch and then some with every meal. Our grocery/food budget has been chopped from nearly $200-$300 a week down to $56-$60 a week. Huge savings and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it.
