Here’s what our customers are saying!
“We had the slow cooker mexican carnitas for dinner tonight. Seriously amazing. And filling! We haven’t been going in exact order on the plan but so far the plan has been great! We’ve had the squash and pasta bake (I’ve never cooked with squash before that!) and also the Waldorf salad! So excited to try the next few recipes!”

“I just wanted you to know how much I love this meal plan. I have a family of seven and we were mostly following a Paleo diet but it was becoming too much for our budget. I’ve tried once a month cooking in an effort to save money, but find myself without enough meals to actually cover the entire month and no grocery budget money left over! This meal plan not only is almost enough to feed my family without tweaking AND contain leftovers, it’s cut my spending by TWO THIRDS! So, thank you for supplying an affordable, thorough, and very complete meal plan. My family has not complained about a single menu item!” ~Megan

“I purchased this and it’s amazing! So organized and user friendly. I rarely buy anything, but this stood out to me. The time and thought put into it is so evident. I currently spend so much time every week on meal plans and am always within our (too high) budget, but very inconsistent. I also feel so uninspired and struggle to come up with new ideas. And making good use of leftovers (for use in other meals) is not a strong point of mine. I am thrilled to be able to cut the time I spend meal planning and list making down significantly. I’m also really excited to learn to make some new things (like yogurt). Thank you for this! Money well spent.” ~R. Benedict

“Are you KIDDING me?! I just ordered the Frugal Real Food Meal Plans subscription. It. is. tremendous! First month of menus — 116 pages of detailed information! With all the other resources included with membership, it is well worth the cost. The recipes are meals my family will eat, the foods are affordable and easy to purchase even here in my small town. Thank you, Tiffany. I can’t wait to get cookin.’ ~Barbara

“I just signed up for Tiffany’s Meal Plan! Love it! Taking my already prepared (and tweaked) grocery list to the stores tomorrow! Tiffany even gives you a price point on how much to spend for each item. And love, love, love all of the variety of dishes! This was one of my New Year Goal’s: to cut our grocery budget by 30-40%! Can I do it? We will see! If Tiffany can feed her 4 on $330 a month, then I should be able to do it for $900 or less! I’m so pumped! (And no she isn’t paying me! lol)”~Stacey

“Anyone else starting 2015 with the Frugal Real Plans? I finished Week 1 prep last night. We are a gluten free, mostly grain free family and will be buying 100% organic food while we give this meal plan a whirl. We spent $308 on the food for the first shopping list- including Einkorn flour and Jovial rice pasta. Next week we are looking at less than $70 for the shopping list. Usually we spend $1500 a month on food.” ~Sarah

“We are using the trial menu (even though we did go ahead and sign up), and after going through the shopping list and comparing store ads, we plan on spending less than $100 for the 2 weeks that it covers (although we do raise all of our own meats, which helps).”~Trista

“I just bought my 12 month subscription and it is totally worth it…I spend so much time planning meals, making shopping lists, and shopping-probably more than I do actually making them- and if the rest of the months are a third of January (which I will assume they will, in reality be the same quality!), the money was well spent!” ~Rita

“I bought it, made two meals so far and they were delicious!”~Mary

“I have stuck to this plan for the last week and a half. We are a family of 5, with an 8,10, & 15 year old. We can go thru a lot of food fast in my house. This plan has been truly great. Although I alwayvstrived to save on our grocery list and buy healthy food by meal planning this plan is making it much easier for this working mother! And so far every meal has been a hit except one. So AAA+++ to you for spending the time to help others!” ~S. Red

“We are behind on the “official” calendar, so we have only made 3 of the meals, but they were all wonderful. Only my pickiest child didn’t eat, and the other two ate more vegetables than usual. And we have saved quite a bit on groceries. I appreciate that you use pantry ingredients that I had on hand, so there were no odd purchase that I won’t ever use again. Also, I love that you plan for all of the components to get used during the week. Very happy so far!” ~Laura

“We are 3 meals in and my husband has loved everything I’ve made! Also, the leftovers are wonderful! Thank you!“~Jessica

“Bought the 3 month plan and am off to a great start!! As someone who has always fed her family healthy but boring meals, I have chosen three meals to cook this week. I plan on doubling each of them for leftovers and lunches. I am easing into this! I made the oatmeal casserole(doubled it) to have all week for breakfast. My goal is to buy significantly less packaged organic products:bye bye expensive granola bars,etc. I am finding the groceries to be a bit higher here just outside of Chicago, but still only spent 64.00 at the grocery store yesterday!! Thanks for all of your hard work Tiffany!! ~Beth

“Thanks so much. I am enjoying the plan so far. Thanks for all your hard work. My fussy3 year old ate 2 zucchini apple carrot muffins today.”~Lori

“I saved ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!! WHAT?!?!?!? I don’t really even understand how it happened. I’d have to look back over other receipts. I don’t know what in the world I’ve been buying that’s so expensive. Please excuse my long excited rant. Amen.” ~Cindy

“I’ve got the 3 months plan to get me started and get used to the system. Today we had our first menu from your plan. It was the first day menu even though the date is wrong (I’ve hummed and hawed on where to start since we had a slow start, but it seemed like the right place) and even the non-TexMex enthusiasts finished it all! I loved that I didn’t have to wreck my brain today about what to feed them since I already had this going in the crock pot. Success.” ~Karina

“I really do love it. A fan of your “freebies”, I love your ethical, purpose driven philosophy of education and service. I haven’t been to the grocery store in over a week just from using stuff from my standing deep freezer, pantry & regular fridge…and we haven’t even done a full week of FRFMP yet. And the kids have been eating still real food healthy lunches at school (from home), but by really using EVERYTHING-it’s pretty awesome-and we’re still eating really well! Thank you!” ~Marissa

I made the Creamy Cauliflower Sauce and didn’t tell my family until after they ate it and declared it was delicious. I made the Sausage Creole last night and it’s full of veggies and they devoured it too! I’m LOVING that I can get more vegetables in and they enjoy the meals. ~Michelle
• • •
“My six year old found the name Sausage Creole to be quite funny since it sounds like Sausage Cereal so we renamed it! So happy that Sausage Cereal resulted in no complaints from my three kids. Greek Chicken was a huge hit too! I even managed to cook dinner one night while I was sick thanks to the Baked Potato Bar. Thank you for this great plan!”~Cassandra

“When I got the meal plan I looked at it and thought “Oh no. We don’t eat any of this stuff!” That included me as I am the picky one. I decided we were going to give it a go and try to follow it the best we could. There have been many of the recipes that we have loved!! Thank you so much for putting this together! We have went from spending $300-$400 a week on groceries down to about $200″ ~Valerie

“There is so much stress lifted off me that I cleaned, decluttered, and rearranged my guest room! On to the next room! Every meal has been delicious. I don’t even like mushrooms, but in the rice pilaf…..WOW. And the real kicker is that my previous boring dinners were leaving me dissatisfied. I was going back an hour later to grab a handful of nuts, or a couple crackers. Nothing huge, but enough to pack on a couple unwanted pounds. In 3 days I have lost those pounds and been completely full even as I go to bed… I am so glad I stumbled across your plan. I kind of want to fast forward and see if things keep going this well. But then I would miss all those delicious recipes!”~Cindy

“There are so many helpful suggestions that I’m putting into practice. I want to make sure you guys know how wonderful this service is! We are definitely wasting less and spending less on food, while eating healthier.” ~Amy

“My wife and I both have found your meal plans to be helpful to us in both doing a better job of shopping/spending our limited grocery budget as well as helping us to eat foods that are better for us and help us eliminate the many toxic compounds found in prepared foods. Even though more preparation time is needed, I personally enjoy cooking and the challenge of preparing good-tasting meals with variety and having leftovers for the week (weeks) ahead to help simplify planning and to avoid waste. Thank you for making this service available!” ~Gary

“Last night I was cooking dinner and my 8 year old came up to me and said, “you know what, mama? Eating at home tastes better than eating in a restaurant!” I have subscribed to a few menu plans over the years, but yours is the first one where every meal has been a hit! Thanks so much for all your hard work.” ~Heather
