For those of you who were asking me about that meal thing we're on, here's the information. It only costs $1.25 per week... which for me is great. I find it to be an amazing time saver and brain organizer. For a toddler mom, every little bit helps. :-) If you're interested, you could go here to find out more.
Each week they send you a new menu with seven simple dinners on it. The meals focus on seasonal foods, and things that are on sale. (If you live back east, you can even get the Kroger's, or Wal-Mart Supercenter version -- where they look through the sales flyers and make menus based on exactly what those stores have going on sale.) Here's a sample of what one looks like. (Sorry I can't share the real ones with you, but I had to promise that I wouldn't when I signed up.)
We do the "points" version, somewhat lower calorie meals (not diet food) but the Weight Watchers point are calculated for you so that you know exactly how many points are in each meal you fix (something I find extremely time consuming... or nearly impossible to do on my own). But if you're not on Weight Watchers, no big deal. They also have a version for just normal family food. (Also they offer a low carb version, and a low fat version.)
And each of those, you can either get it for couples (less food you're buying and making) or for a family (serves six). (Even though we only have 3 who are eating from the table, we do the "serves 6" one and then use the left overs for lunches or for a second supper during the week.) The weekly menu also comes with a shopping list that's divided into catagories so you can get through the grocery store faster.
We've been doing this system for a couple of months now and I just love it.

This sounds like a great plan, a real time saver. I will for sure look into this.
