ABOUT WELL MEALS 4 U
Do you need help with dinner time? Planning the menu, creating a grocery list, preparing the ingredients and putting it all together getting you down? WELL MEALS makes it easy 4 U!
WELL MEALS 4 U is an exciting new home meal planning and assembly concept for busy individuals and families. It helps you assemble a month's worth of meals in a matter of hours and in the comfort of your home. Each month we post 30 different meals on our website. Our members pay a subscription fee which enables them to select the meals and servings from the list and receive a customized pdf meal assembly packet.The WELL MEALS 4 U system adjusts the recipes accordingly to each member's selections and creates a customized grocery list, set of meal assembly instructions and individual meal preparation directions. Imagine, your freezer full of meals that can be thawed and quickly prepared for dinner each night!
EAT OUT ON YOUR TERMS
Our goal as a family was to make eating out a special treat that we looked forward to, not a stop gap measure because we were too tired, unprepared, or short on time. Whether a fine restaurant or fast food drive through, nothing drains a food budget faster than eating out. It's a fact, you can cook at home for much cheaper AND you get more nutrition from your meals as well. There was no way we were able to stay on a food "budget" when eating out was our meal time solution. Our kids now call WellMeals4U "like eating out" because there is a lot of meal variety with international "spice twist." It also fits into our busy schedule. WELL MEALS 4 U is an inexpensive way to prepare foods, enjoy healthy meals and avoid the high cost of dinning out.
$AVINGS
Is a subscription to WellMeals4U worth it? That is the big question. The food
looks great in the pictures, the nutritional information tells you it is a
great thing for your body. Will it really save money? Is it worth the "work" of
assembling the meals in advance? It will mean giving up an afternoon once a
month! Let's do a cost/benefit analysis for our family (5 mouths to feed and 5 pairs of helping hands).
One month subscription = $15
- We chose 15 meals out of the possible 30 choices. That
means each meal must save us $1 to at least break even. The analysis is based
upon 15 meal month

A one month
subscription = $15 using only 15 of the recipes, saved our family $615/month
and 13 hours. Factoring time at $10/hour puts the total savings at $745.
That means the Return on Investment (ROI) for our $15 WM4U
subscription was over the moon high (just counting the direct savings!)
ROI = [(Payback - Investment)/Investment)]*100
4,000=(($615-$15)/$15)x100
If WellMeals4U saves one trip eating out/month, it has paid for
itself. If your family is anything like ours and totally lacks discipline
around our food expenses, you may see sizable savings as we did. Because of
WellMeal4U, we have finally been able to do meal planning, create a food budget
and stick to it.
WELL MEALS 4 U is a cost effective way to prepare foods, enjoy healthy meals and avoid the high costs of commercially prepared food. Imagine, spending less on food, spending less time in the grocery store, less time in meal preparation and more time enjoying your evenings. It's truly an exciting and economical new way to prepare for dinner!
