'In the Archive' Fridays - Dine Without Whine - Meal Planning for Busy Families

Welcome to 'In the Kitchen' Archive Fridays! Today I'm going back to the archives of Everything 'In the Kitchen' Up Close to feature a post I originally wrote as a sponsored post but failed to receive any money after writing it (through MyLikes). I haven't tried the Dine Without Whine program.  This post contains objective information that I received from their website only.  Make sure to read all the way to the bottom of this post for an update and more information. 

Enjoy! 

Dine Without Whine - Meal Planning for Busy Families - www.dinewithoutwhine.com

Dine Without Whine was created by Christine Steendahl a.k.a “The Menu Mom”.  The purpose of Dine Without Whine is to make dinner time for families as easy and enjoyable as possible.  Dine Without Whine is made purposly for busy families but I personally believe that it can be used by any family, big or small.

Dine Without Whine provides you with new menus and grocery lists each Thursday.  The menus include easy to find ingredients and meals that your whole family will love.  Dine Without Whine ensures your satisfaction with the program by offering two other Menu Planning sites take your family's eating habits into consideration: Kid Approved Meals and Menu Planning Central. 

Additionally, Dine Without Whine offers a number of subscription options to ensure their plan fits into nearly every budget.  The following is a list of five (5) membership options available on the website (all of which are payable via credit card or PayPal):

1.) Dine Without Whine - Monthly Subscription with $.01 One Week Trial Offer ($0.01 for the first 7 days. Then $6.95 for each month)

2.) Dine Without Whine - 3 Month Membership ($19.95 for 3 months)

3.) Dine Without Whine - 6 Month Membership ($39.95 for 6 months)

4.) Dine Without Whine - 12 Month Membership  ($74.95 for one year)

5.) Dine Without Whine - Lifetime Membership (a one-time fee of $139.95 for lifetime subscription)

One thing I like about the Dine Without Whine program is that you can purchase gift subscriptions for other people.  I think this would make a great house warming, wedding, or baby shower gift!

Update:
I haven't tried out this system yet.  I was originally planning to try out the free trial and completely forgot about it.  Now that it is on my radar again, it is definitely something I'm interested in trying.  There are a lot of different meal planning programs out there and I'm yet to find out that works just right for our family.  From meal planning failures in the past, I've learned that I like to try new recipes, as well as incorporate old favourites into each week's plan.

Dine Without Whine now has a blog that you can check out.  A number of the most recent articles are all about condiments - there is even a recipe on how to make your own ketchup (neat!).   You can also subscribe to the Dine Without Whine newsletter on their main page to receive a free copy of 'Menu Planning for Today's Busy Family'; I've yet to check this out.

Finally, now, when you sign up for the free trial offer, you receive one bonus: either a grocery savings guide, or an entertaining guide.  Full details are available on their main page.
