New Year, New You! Back to Basics with eMeals

January 2, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

I’ve certainly got some goals this year to drop a bit of weight and to get more active. How about you?

eMeals, the meal planning service that I have been using for 2 years now, is really going to be helpful with this effort, as they have Healthy Meal Plans to Match your Active Lifestyle! I’m switching my family back to the Paleo plan, which seems to work well for our family. Time to drop lots of those carbs and seriously up my veggie intake. But I don’t have to scour the internet daily for lots of new recipes. eMeals is taking care of me!

If you need help with meal planning, either because you want to change your diet or because you just want a little less stress in your life, then eMeals is such a great way to go. I’ve been so pleased as a member. And I’m pleased to announce that I have a coupon for you, too! Take 15% Off Your Order at eMeals.com with Bonus Comfort Foods Brochure! Use code Dinner15.

Let eMeals help you get back to basics in 2014. I find it to be worth so much more than the cost because it helps me save a TON of time, save money, and eat healthfully.

AND…if you are looking for a little Pinterest inspiration, I’m so thrilled to report that I’m part of the eMeals Foodie board, which is a fantastic group board on with delicious meal ideas! Such a great source of inspiration, and it can keep you from having to search and search and search and search for new ideas. I hope you’ll follow us!

Early Access to the Best Sale for One of My Favorite Services

November 15, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

I am an eMeals affiliate and satisfied customer. I hope you enjoy this fantastic eMeals coupon!

Have you heard of eMeals? This is a menu subscription service, and I have been a customer of theirs since just before Layah was born last year. I joined because I knew that it would be a big stress reliever to have someone else take care of picking out recipes and planning a grocery list for me. And eMeals does just that! I simply have to print off my recipes and my shopping list and head to the store. Things are categorized on the list by section of the store to make shopping even easier.

eMeals Costs

Basically, it is AWESOME and 100% worth the cost. Speaking of which, let me break it down for you. Each plan provides 7 complete meals each week, delivered straight to your inbox.

12 month subscription: $58

6 month subscription: $35

3 month subscription: $21

You can also add a lunch plan to any of these subscriptions for just $4 each month. I’ve done the lunch menu before and those options are most often lunchbox friendly, which is really handy!

Types of Plans

Not sure if eMeals knows how to plan meals for your family? I’m going to bet that they can, and that’s because they offer a huge variety of plan types!

Clean Eating (our current plan. Totally adore it!)
Paleo (tried it, loved it!)
Low Fat
Low Carb
Natural & Organic
Portion Control
Gluten-Free
Classic (tried it…good for a family who eats the Standard American Diet)
Vegetarian

That’s not even the complete list of options, friends! Even in the past year, eMeals has really expanded and enhanced its offerings, and that’s yet another reason why I’m not planning on cancelling my subscription anytime soon.

The Big Sale

Ok, so once a year eMeals has its biggest sale and its largest discount offer. It happens on Cyber Monday, and it is for 30% off the subscription price.

BUT…since I’m an affiliate of eMeals, I have been granted early access to this promotion. That means that you, my readers, can get the eMeals discount of 30% off RIGHT NOW!!! Use code CYBER at checkout, and you are all set!

Let me know which subscription you buy. And if you are having a hard time deciding, don’t worry! eMeals gives you the opportunity to switch up your subscription. I’m actually thinking about switching over to the slow cooker clean eating plan, myself, for the winter months!

Back-to-School Savings Made Easy with RetailMeNot

Back-to-School Savings!

Want to know a simple online shopping trick that has saved me several hundred dollars over the years and takes all of 5 seconds? Every time I shop online, prior to checking out I head over to RetailMeNot.com and see if there is a special coupon or offer for that store that I can take advantage of and save a bit of money. As back-to-school season gears up, I want you to get in the same habit I’m already in, and check out RetailMeNot before placing any more online orders!

I would say that at least 75% of the time I discover a way to knock the price down a bit, either by scoring free shipping or taking a certain dollar amount off the price. If I’m not feeling picky about the particular store I shop at, I can almost always find at least one store that is running a special offer for that type of item, as well. It is one of the easiest ways I have yet to find to save money, and it all happens at RetailMeNot, the largest digital coupon website in the United States.

Right now at RetaillMeNot you can score coupons for everything from school uniforms, to backpacks, to books, and even for desktops and laptops.All of the coupons found on RetailMeNot are totally free. There’s nothing to buy and LOTS to save!

In particular, think about all that you can save on supplies for the classroom. For the 2013-2014 school year, schools in 35 states are operating with budgets that haven’t been this low since 2008. Budget cuts are very real and teachers are having to dig even deeper into their own pockets to help pay for supplies for their students. Be part of the solution this year by donating some supplies you can score through RetailMeNot for an amazing price!

Win a Classroom Shopping Spree!

RetailMeNot is also hosting a really fantastic contest where you can win a classroom shopping spree! Entering is really simple. All you need to do is create a video (nothing fancy necessary!) nominating your favorite teacher who could really use some extra school supplies. The teacher who wins will get a 3 minutes Costco shopping spree, all thanks to RetailMeNot! From computers, to crayons to snacks for the kids, there’s no limit to the great things that could be snagged at that store! Check out the official rules and details here, and get your nomination in by Saturday, August 10, 2013. One lucky teacher is going to win…why shouldn’t it be the one you know deserves it?

Find Even More Deals!

Back-to-school savings at RetailMeNot barely even scratch the surface of all you can find there. You can find sales (one of my favorite things to browse!), as well as deals at local ! You can even stay informed about the best deals while you are out and about. Just download the, and you can make sure you are always getting the best deal at the mall or other stores you might frequent. This was something I actually didn’t know about, but you better believe I just downloaded it, myself!

Are you ready for back-to-school shopping? Can you believe it is already time??? What’s on your list this year? Are you already a RetailMeNot fan, like me?

Thanks to RetailMeNot for sponsoring this content. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are strictly my own, as always.

What I Just Purchased from DaySpring (Entire Site Extra 25% Off Now!)

July 9, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

(I’m an affiliate, as well as a customer of DaySpring).

So about 45 minutes ago I got an email from DaySpring, letting me know that their entire store was an extra 25% off. Just because they felt like it.

About 44 minutes ago, I started browsing the DaySpring website. I saw many things I wanted, but I exercised a bit of restraint and picked up the following items, all at impressive prices, I have to say!

1. His Eye is on the Sparrow birdhouse. Regularly $19.99. With the discount just $7.48!

2. The Goodness of the Lord Planter. I can totally see this on the back porch at my in-laws’ house! Regularly $24.99, and I snagged it for $7.48!

3. Crown Fashion Bobby Pin Set. These were 60% off, from $9.99 down to $3.99 (and then take an additional 25% off!). I picked up 3 sets and will hang on to them for Christmas gifts. I have 7 nieces…won’t be a problem to distribute them!

I barely scratched the surface of the good stuff DaySpring has available right now. Definitely take a minute today and go see if you can find some goodies for yourself, or for your gift closet! 🙂 Don’t forget to use code Summer25 at checkout for 25% off. And if you do buy something, come back here and tell me what you get. I want to oogle over it! 🙂

Edited to add: So I can’t stop thinking about this one. This was the purchase that got away from me. I didn’t buy it, and I regret it! So pretty!
