I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to pay for a meal planning service, specifically fresh20 or the scramble (leaning towards fresh20). DH and I are expecting our first in a few weeks and I'll be on maternity leave for the next few months. We're really trying to tighten up our food budget (we eat out a lot) and I am admittedly clueless when it comes to meal planning on my own. As a new mom I know I won't have any brain cells to devote to meal planning for a while, which is why I'm thinking of signing up for one of these but I'd like to hear from others first who use/used them with success.

How much do you spend per week on groceries, using one of these subscriptions? Do you find it actually saves $ in your food budget in the long run?[/quote]

You can also try Let's Dish for a while, where they will actually make and deliver (or you can pick up) the food. It's all frozen--each meal has different thawing/cooking instructions--but we've done it lots of times and have been perfectly happy with the quality of the food. You can choose from a different menu each month. Even if you do fresh20, it might be good to have a half-dozen Dish meals in the freezer for times when all you have the energy to do is throw something in the oven or crock pot. [/quote]
