What is We Got the List?



We Got the List .com is different. . .

 from other menu planners because our menus are fresh and planned weekly based on supermarket sale items.  Also, we stick to a budget.

Members receive a weekly organized list of healthy, whole foods with a chef inspired meal plan.

The We Got the List meal plan includes 7 dinners, breakfasts and lunches (84 meals), plus dessert!  Yet it is completely flexible and we encourage you to adapt it in any way that will better fit your family’s needs.

Our members enjoy quick quality meals with simple cooking guidelines.

Hi, my name is Stephanie Nee Brucher.  When I went back to work after being at home with my kids, I found myself struggling to get dinner on the table.  I just didn’t have the time and energy to plan ahead.  During the drive home from work I was trying to figure out the question that I would inevitably hear when I got home.  “Mom, what’s for dinner?” 

The problem was that I didn’t have a plan.  I either shopped last minute for the evening’s meal, picked up takeout or I went to the grocery store with a small list of things I definitely needed and a flyer with a bunch of circled items all over it.  I would buy stuff that was on sale, but I never had a plan for what to do with it when I got it home.  Consequently, I was spending a lot of money and wasting a lot of food and time.

I was stressed out beyond belief.  I realized if I had the ingredients in the house and a plan for dinner I could pull it off.  So I joined a menu planning service that I never used.  First, my family is not food adventurous; they like what they like, and second, who in their right mind (except that Julia Julia person) wants to attempt a new elaborate recipe 7 days a week?

I pitched the idea for We Got the List to Cheryl Hannan and Tina Newman.  They both have culinary arts backgrounds and within a couple of weeks we were churning out weekly menus.  I knew that we had to offer families a practical and flexible alternative.

Some menu planners boast they provide a year’s worth of recipes without repetition.  This is ludicrous to me.  First, I can’t see the point in making my eight year old wait until he’s nine to have sliders again.  Why wouldn’t you repeat your family’s favorite dinners?  Do you remember the “Wednesday is Prince Spaghetti Day” commercial?  There is something comforting in routine combined with our favorite foods.

Some people have a pattern of cooking, family recipes handed down for generations, and they know how to cook.  Some people need a little help in the kitchen.  Either way, our service is designed to help.  We will get you out of that rut and put a fire under
your pot.

Though, I consider myself to be a creative person, I just wasn’t quite able to pull it all together at mealtime.  Frankly, I was a mediocre cook.  This is where my partners, Tina and Cheryl come in; they both have the gift of culinary genius combined with practicality.  We are three, twenty-first century moms trying to balance it all.  We all have husbands, finicky eaters, work and schedules to coordinate.  On top of everything, we need to get dinner on the table.  Our goal is to help you not only get dinner on the table, but to get a great dinner on the table.  A meal that is simple, hassle free, budget conscious that everyone will enjoy.

We Got the List.com members have a plan, go to the grocery store with an organized list, and know what is on sale.

The We Got the List meals are nutritiously balanced, and fit the USDA food pyramid guidelines.  Ingredients are made up of whole foods, vegetables, grains, beans and are family friendly.  We also offer alternative menu items for those fussier eaters in the house.  On our menus you will find T-bone steaks, steamed shrimp, roasted chicken, Panini sandwiches and desserts like chocolate mousse and ice cream pie.  We eat well and stay on budget.  I love that I do not feel at all deprived, yet I am not spending a fortune to feed my family well.
We Got the List members save money.  By shopping the sales you can save 20% on groceries.  Our members are seeing savings up to $50 a week, $200 a month and $2400 a year.  (Wow! What could you do with an extra $2400?)  The cost of membership is only $3.75 a week.  You can save a week’s worth of groceries every month.
We make the most out of our grocery dollars because we shop the sales.  Add coupons and save even more.

We respect your privacy and will never share your personal information.  We haven’t artificially inflated our price only to discount it and make it look like a sale because we believe in being straight forward and we want to attract smart consumers who know what value is.  (Maybe we can invoke change by boycotting 14 oz boxes of pasta and 1.5 quart ice cream cartons. I want a pound of pasta and a half gallon of ice cream THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!) 

We are accessible and welcome any questions or concerns and of course, you are free to cancel at any time.  Here is what some of our members have to say about wegotthelist.com…

“I just wanted to say thanks for offering such a great product!  I've subscribed to other menu mailers in the past, but the recipes were usually too complex or just didn't work for a family with kids.  I love the simplicity of your meals -- they're not the normal foods we eat, but aren't too daunting to try -- the perfect
balance!  My favorite feature would at this point, be staying around $150 a week, and being able to take advantage of the sales going on right down the street. It makes me feel like a smart shopper!  I also love the variety of
dinner types (slow-cooker, quick recipe, or traditional recipe).
It's a great service you're offering, and I really appreciate it!”

Thanks!

“I will let my sister-in-law know that the “List” works in NJ at Stop & Shop too.
I have friends in New Jersey and they would love to do this as well. I will forward the information to them. Appreciate that the recipes are simple. My sister-in-law works long hours and has been struggling with pulling together dinners and thought this made sense for her family.”

Thanks,
