Austin company Food on the Table had these struggles in mind when they launched their site that now has over 15,000 Facebook likes. Food on the Table aims to help users save time and money by taking them through a step by step program to select ingredients, browse potential menu items, and create a grocery list tailored to that week’s chosen meals. In addition, Food on the Table finds all the in-store sales at the most popular grocery stores in your area. Use those sales to plan your menu, and you’re saving money!

The service is free for up to three meals a week. To plan more than 3 meals per week and for a larger recipe index, users can upgrade to the premium membership for a low introductory rate of $5 per month.
