Anyone used meal planning from E-meals?

There is a Groupon for one year of meals for $29 - includes shopping lists, ingredient consolidation and recipes. Anyone use this service and can vouch for the quality of the meals?

I used it once. It was terrible. The meals were disgusting and I didn't find that I saved a ton of money with it anyway. It might be because I did the weight watchers version for any store (ie, points for any store), so in my case the sales didn't necessarily match what was on sale that week. But the recipes were gross and old fashioned and generally called for a lot of processed ingredients like cream of crap soup, things with HFCS, etc.

You can see sample menus/receipes and plans on their website.

We tried it for 3 months. Got a couple of ok ideas out of it, so it wasn't a complete waste of money, but most of the meals were tex/mex, and that isn't my fav, so it didn't appeal to me enough to continue.

I signed up for a 3 month plan at one point and barely used it. I agree with the other posters that the recipes weren't that great. Usually they are always giving away a free months trial so start with that. Once you are a member you can get all the week's meals & plans for a few months so you can just copy them & use if you want.

I signed up last year with a groupon. I got the low carb plan for three months. There were several repeat recipes within that time period. Kind of shady to sign up for a specific timeframe and then have repeats! Some of the recipes were processed foods, but most were not. As someone who was new to low carb, it did give me some place to start though. I might try it again for the cleaning eating plan.
