Giveaway #23: Plan to Eat – 3 Full Year Meal Planning Subscriptions

I am a huge advocate for meal planning – not only to help stretch our small grocery budget, but also to simplify and organize our weeknight routine {and honestly, would doesn’t need to stretch their budget or simplify weekday meals?}

If you are like me, then you’ll LOVE Plan to Eat’s simple, electronic, and really convenient online meal-planning services — that you can accomplish in 3 quick steps.

#1. Import, Organize, and Share your Recipes.

Not only can you type in all your favorite recipes and access them from any computer with internet access, you can also search and IMPORT recipes from your favorite blogs or cooking websites to make meal planning that much easier!

#2 Create your monthly meal plan.

Quickly and easily drag and drop recipes from your Recipe Book to create your monthly meal plan. You can even add additional ingredients, make notes, change the number of servings, and then print and export your meal plan to other calendar programs to sync your meal plan with your schedule.

#3 Create customized grocery lists based on your meal plan and pantry staples

The Shopping List is where all your hard work pays off as it automatically combines and categorizes ingredients from the recipes that are on your meal plan.

That’s it.

    my current method of meal planning…. well… let’s just say there’s not much planning going on. 🙂 I think I might need to subscribe no matter what!

  7. Dawn says

    Our meal planning? Um…that implies that we plan ahead or have time to plan ahead! Right now it consists of whomever is home first checks the cupboards and fridge/freezer to see what can be created.

  10. Erin says

    Currently, for meal planning I sit down every Monday and plan according to what my husband’s schedule is, the current week’s sales, and what coupons I have. I like how I do it, but it is a major time consumer every week…if I had an easier way, it would be great! 🙂

  11. Sarah says

    My meal planning is one week at a time – just trying to figure out something we haven’t had over and over and something my son will like.

  14. Abby says

    Currently it consists of a rotation of the same 5 meals practically. Would love a service like this!

  15. Torie H says

    looking on my favorite blogs and doing it weekly or going to once a month mom

  18. Laura McK says

    My current meal planning method is just writing out what we will have for dinner each day of the week and then I go to the store to purchase the items to make those meals.

  21. erin rae says

    I currently meal plan using my google calendar with most of my recipes in Evernote. I then make a paper grocery list from these… but I’d love to streamline with Plan To Eat!

  23. Faith says

    My meal planning is a work in progress. I’m slowly starting to incorporate freezer cooking and going through my cupboards to take “inventory” of what I already have before going shopping and trying to build some meals ideas around that. 🙂 I hope to come up with a 7 week plan of different meals for Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack that I can rotate through to give us plenty of options.

  27. michelle says

    I was using your meal charts but I’ve fallen off the wagon. I need to get back on.

  29. kris Nonhof says

    ha ha! Meal planning in our house is whatever (wait for this) my husband wants to cook. So this would be a fantastic gift for him or a great way to get me to help him out 🙂

  33. Karri says

    meal planning: waking up and wondering what sounds good and hoping its in the house.

  36. AnneG says

    I plan on Sat or Sun for the next work week’s meals, and just fly by the seat of my pants on the weekends.

  37. Stephanie says

    current meal planning – who’s home, what’s in the frig! Really need help!

  40. Kelynn says

    My current meal planning is running to the store anytime I want to make something for dinner. I could really use this!
