and saving money!!! Since July when my job title changed to mommy/home economist i have tried to find as many ways possible to organize the running of our house hold and to save money. Our motto is..."Jake makes the money and Christy saves it" :) One of those things we did was subscribe to e-mealz for 3 months. E-mealz has truly saved us tons of money and more then anything it has actually organized our meal system...its amazing. But to add to that (and i totally stole this idea from my friend lauren...who stole it from her cousin liz:)...i put together a list of all our staple items that we need at the store frequently...i walked around target and walked from room to room in our home to make sure i listed everything :) i then laminated the list and we have it on our fridge...so anytime we run out of an item...want an item...or need an item...we just take our dry erase marker and check the box...so when its time to do our shopping everything is all ready to go and organized so i don't forget things or spend too much on impulse purchases;) pretty cool huh?! 
I know its probablly totally old school and everyone reading this has some application on their iphone to accomplish the exact same thing...but a)i dont have and iphone:) and b)i am old school!

Hey Christy!
We have just started e-mealz too, ...we buy for two weeks at a time..and yes, saves tons of moo-lah! Plus, it helps those like me who needs help with "cooking directions". btw, piper's too cute for words!
Hey girl! I was looking at the e-mealz and have never heard about it. So are the receipes good? I am kinda a picky eater so was wondering about the receipes? Can you tell me about some of the ones. It looks like a great thing and I am interested in it.
I love it! I am the same way! I love to save money and be a good steward of what we have to work with. I have a list like this and it is very comprehensive. I will have to check out e mealz? What is it exactly?
Target?!?! I find that Walmart has better prices. And although Homeland is more expensive, they have the best fruit. It lasts & lasts. I have not heard of e- meals, but I have been reading about meal planning on several blogs I stalk. I'm all for saving $ & time.
Hey Christy! Just wanted to tell you that a) I read your blog... :) I loved all your pregnancy updates because I was following behind you with my little girl!!! b) I was inspired to make a list like yours and it has helped A TON!!! Thanks for the great idea!
