BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether your bills are keeping you awake at night or you simply live by the motto that it's nifty to be thrifty, here's a new way to keep a lid on food costs. The just-introduced Budget Friendly meal plan from eMeals, the nation's largest online meal planning service, stretches the savings already provided by the service by helping families put dinner on the table for an average of $85 a week—all without sacrificing flavor, variety, nutrition or the cooperation of picky eaters.

The secret: super-economical dinner menus created by eMeals' food staff with an ever-changing mix of shelf-stable items, frozen foods, value cuts of meat, and efficient ingredient use throughout the week to limit spoilage and waste.

One 5-pound whole chicken, for example, might double as the protein in recipes like Easy Chicken Shepherd's Pie and Pulled Chicken Salad. Leftover Smoky Beef Chili from one dinner might become the topping for Classic Chili Dogs later in the week. And both canned and frozen vegetables avoid flushing money down the drain by having a refrigerator full of unused and rotting produce.

eMeals' expert tips for making homemade broths and other "convenience foods" jump-start meals, pump up the flavor and add extra savings. And the roster of needed staples on every weekly eMeals grocery list saves time and trips to the grocery store by keeping your pantry well-stocked.

For as little as $5 a month, you get seven menus delivered to your email inbox and eMeals mobile app every week along with recipes and a grocery list covering all seven dinners. And now you can try before you buy. Simply go to www.emeals.com/meal-plans/budget-friendly, then click "Try Us" to sign up for 14 days worth of Budget Friendly menus and shopping lists for free.

You can also choose from more than 50 other eMeals menu options including Classic, Clean Eating, Paleo, Kid Friendly, 30 Minute Meals, Slow Cooker, Vegetarian, Mediterranean, Low Calorie, Low Fat, Portion Control, Low Carb, Gluten Free and Diabetic plans.
