Menu Planning

I have tried planning menus for the week in the past and it was helpful.  When I know what I'm going to cook for the week it provides variety and I am more likely to stick to it and less likely to call an audible "Let's go out to eat."  So tonight I sat down and planned out the week.  Its a nice variety and I'm looking forward to it.  It also helps me to buy only what I need at the grocery store which helps me spend less.  I've found some websites that help with menu planning and some that help with getting the best deals at the grocery store.  One is e-meals.  http://www.e-mealz.com/  Its a pretty good site that does all the meal planning for you.  GIve you a grocery list to shop from and a good variety of food.  Becuase I like to create my own meals, I don't subscribe anymore, but if you don't want to have to think about meal planning it is definitely one to check out.  For those of you who know who the wonderful Dave Ramsey is, he endorses the site and highly recommends it.  Again, great site if you don't want to have to think about meal planning and you just want it done for you.
The other site is http://www.thegrocerygame.com/ I LOVE this site.  You have to be willing to clip coupons to get the maximum savings, but if you follow the "rules" of the game you can really save a bunch of money.  It lists coupons and sales at the stores you select.  Gives it to you in a nice spreadsheet.  Sometimes you can even find stuff for free.  Great site (Remember that I referred you!!!)  If you need my email for the referral it is kelly_sellevaag@yahoo.com
Recipes: My two current favorite recipes sites are http://www.allrecipes.com/ and http://www.tasteofhome.com/  Both have lots of great recipes.  While I rarely follow the recipes exactly as they are, both have great recipes as places to start. 
Well, I'll be on the lookout for other resources and will report back as I find them.
