LAST CHANCE: Food on the Table Menu Planning Service FREE for LIFE! (ends today!)

March 31, 2012 by Melissa 4 Comments

If you’ve been reading my blog for long, then you know that I am a HUGE advocate for meal planning! When I have readers ask me how they can cut their grocery budgets, I always tell them that you can’t cut your budget using coupons alone. You have to strategically meal plan so that you are actually USING the food that you buy! I know that meal planning is overwhelming for some people, so I’m excited to tell you about Food on the Table! Food on the Table is a new service that helps you to create a weekly meal plan for your family based on the grocery deals at YOUR stores!

I have been using this service for a few weeks now and it takes all of the work out of meal planning and is PERFECT if you’re just getting started with meal planning! You go in and choose your recipes for the week from their database and they will generate a grocery list for you based on the ads in your area! You can print your list or access it straight from your Smartphone app! You can also customize it to add in the other items you need!

I have even more great news for you! Food on the Table is normally $5 per month, but right now, you can get a subscription to Food on the Table FREE FOR LIFE! This offer is available in the month of March only when you enter the code MARFREE.

Click here to start your subscription–>FREE Food on the Table subscription

I can’t wait to hear what you think! Even though I’ve been meal planning for years now, I love how easy Food on the Table is to use!
