This has been an all afternoon project!  Note out of 2 weeks offood, only 4 meals involve cooking.  And, this can be all ordered with a tap of the button to be delivered :)  Very important details!!

Hmm, now the next part ... figuring out all the Nutritional stuff.  I KNOW its pretty low on fat and salt ... feelin fine :)

We figure though this is better than we are spending by eating out.  Most our eating lately has seemed to come from Fast Food.  Burger Kings 2 for $3 is killing us.  So instead its like $9.79 a day, $66.55 a week, $288 monthly, $3,460 yearly.  AND, it "Feels" healthy ... We figure the meals are smaller, but included 2 mid-meal breaks.  Ok, back to the board.   

Umm, one more thing ... shopping is new to us ... what is it supposed to cost to eat now days?

still trying, diet buddy..... as for the cost of food?  Don't know.  Grocery shopping is one of the things I hate doing, so only go into the store as a dash in and out.  HUbby does a lot of the shopping.  Tammy
