The shopping list concept is great, but I would have loved the option of entering the recipes copied and printing a shopping list corresponding to that. A shopping list for all the ingredients for all the recipes is not helpful to me.

11/7/2010 06:11:42 PM Report AbuseThese are your BUDGET meals? Instead of 2.50-3.00 a serving , how about meals that are only 2.00-3.00 a MEAL!
9/7/2010 09:18:26 PM Report AbuseI really like the shopping list. How about next time tailoring it to one and two member households?

4/25/2010 10:44:09 PM Report AbuseI live in Indiana and just purchased all needed ingredients from Meijer. It cost $107 without any coupons. This included 3 of the "staples" most likely not included in the 100 dollars. Pretty accurate.
