I recently found out about Food On the Table, a FREE meal planning site and mobile app designed to help families eat better and save money at the grocery store. They combine the weekly sales from the grocery stores you choose along with your family’s food preferences, and create a family-friendly meal plan based on recipes hand-picked by their chefs! They will then give you a printable shopping list, or use their FREE mobile app with either an Iphone or Android!
Up to 3 recipes per week is free, and if you are interested in being able to plan your entire weeks worth of meals, then you have the option to pay $5 per month to have unlimited access to the complete meal planning, grocery list making features.
It is super easy to sign-up, just enter in your email address, and they will email you a password to use. Then just follow the directions to get your grocery list. Here is how it works:
Select your store from their store map
Choose what kind of meats you like, what kind of meals you prefer (gluten free, kosher, etc.), and what style or ethnicity of foods you like
Then it pulls up the list of ingredients from your store, and it includes a separate list for ingredients that are on sale! Choose the ones you want on to put on your grocery list.
Select what recipes you want on your meal plan that week based on the items that you’ve just selected.
Then see and review your grocery list and print it, email it, or send it to your Iphone or Android!
Has anyone been using this? What do you think?

I tried to use it but couldn’t get it to enter a store or my city. Seems like it could be a good idea but not sure if it will really save me that much time/energy. Seems time consuming to enter my own recipes to add to the list. I’m sure it would help in the long run but I don’t really have time to type in all my frequently used recipes. Will keep trying a few more times to see if I can get anywhere.
