Relish and why you should pay for their menu planning service #giveaway

by 125 Comments

At First:

relish When Relish.com contacted me and asked me to review them and post a giveaway on my site I thought, why in the world would someone pay for this service. They told me they were a meal planning service I didn’t  understand that they also have are a grocery list maker. You can pick meals and then create a grocery list. Well, I can do that.

It is the Simple-ness that is involved and the speed of the list creation and the fact that you can change your mind and pick something else. You’ll find a whole lot to choose from including freezer meals, vegetarian menus, super-quick and slow cooker recipes.  And you’ll find tons of kid’s friendly meals.

For subscriptions at $7 a month, you’ll end up with five complete dinners for a family of four running you less than $95. Between the money savings and the anxiety savings, you’re coming out way ahead. Can you put a price on the time you will save? 7.00 a month is not very much. Can you give up Two Lattes? Or one and a half?

How It Works:
relish2 Once a week depending on which day you sign up, you will receive an email from RELISH! with a quick link back to the site where you can choose the dinners you’d like to prepare. Simply download your week’s menu, recipes and easy-to-follow shopping list. You do NOT need an email to access the site. Just log in anytime.

Weekly Menu:
Each week choose up to 5 items you’d like to make for the week plus a dessert. When you have a menu that you want to make again, put it into your Favorites Folder and you can have it any week, just put in into the weekly menu and it will go into your grocery list.

Freezer Meals:
We offer monthly freezer meals to help supplement the weekly menus. Go to the freezer tab, choose your menus, shop and come home and cook for a couple of hours. You’ll have great meals always on hand. And, they provide the freezing labels too. You can also add recipes you’d like to prepare again in your favorites folder.

Enter Your Own Recipes: 
If you like to enter some personal recipes into the Relish! system and enjoy them any time.  Simply go to the My Recipes tab and you can enter your recipes.  Allow 5-7 days for the recipe to be formatted and placed in your favorites folder. Remember, the ingredients for your recipes will go into your grocery list, that’s the best part.

Creating the grocery list is the best part. I like to create meals and cook but sometimes when I’m going down the ingredient list in the cookbook something gets forgotten. I also enjoyed how the lists were organized. My lists are never organized. I do think this service is worth paying for if you have a little extra money to help you save time.

    I am already a subscriber of Relish and I love their service. My time saving tip is to use meal planning websites like Relish. They make life so much easier!

    This would be real nice, especially knowing that they offer freezer meals, also. To save time in the kitchen during the week, I’m working on incorporating freezer meals into my menu. Thank you for the giveaway.

    The way the grocery list is organized seems like it would save a lot of time in the grocery store. I’ve often thought I should organize my grocery list by catagories, but I never do.

    Love their website! My time saving tip is patting out hamburger patties as soon as you get home from the store and freezing them. Their already ready to stick in the frying pan for a quick night of hamburger steaks!

    I love that all their meals take 30 or less to make. I pre-cut vegetables that I am going to use for the week on Sunday to save time cooking dinner when I get home from work.

    I like that all their meals take 30 minutes or less to prepare. We save time and money by planning our weekly menu in advance according to the grocery sales and coupons available. I just look at the menu and put the meat out to thaw that morning so it’ll be ready to cook that night.

    One time saving device I use is to double or triple a meal and store the extras in the freezer. Great for when we have a busy night. I can just pull a meal from the freezer and bake it.

    A time saving idea for my family would be to make the monthly make ahead meals for freezing. I would love to have some meals ready to go in my freezer.

    The fact that it has monthly freezer planning menus would be a time saver. I like to have meals made up in the freezer.

    I love the fact that all Relish dinners are kitchen-tested (no more disasters) and take 30 minutes or less prep. After soccer practice when I don’t want to cook, this would be a great timesaver for me!

    I like that with Relish the comprehensive grocery list makes grocery shopping a snap.

    This would save us from making mutiple runs to the grocery store.

    Timesaver: You don’t have to plan a meal for every day of the week. Leave a day in there for leftovers and perhaps a night out!
