Hi and welcome!
Click on "Dinner" underneath the Kraft logo at top left. Then click on "1 Bag, 5 Dinners." A drop down menu will take you to the weekly plans of your choice.

A few praises and replies:
First of all, I like the weekly menues. My husband and I leave the house at 6:30am to get to work and don't return home till 7pm most nights. I love to cook and know how to menu plan but have no time to do so. The menues here, or that I make myself by putting various kraftfoods.com recipes together, or using other sites saves me time and money.
Now to that end, a few of the posters here have hinted or stated around that we are not really saving money if we are using processed food that impacts our health....well better to all you "martha stewarts"...just go one out there and make the rice and flour from stracth why don't ya. We can all make things healthier...add in vegies, use lean cut meats, whole wheat pastas....but at the end of the day I need dinner on the table. So if I can make 95% of it healthy and good and a 5% just has to be velvetta cheese....then so be it.
And I think that's what the weekly menues comes down to. It takes the stress out of planning....but it allows for creativity. So I don't want a pizza on Fridays....I'll pick out a family favorite recipe or order out. Say one of the recipes is a basic spaghetti recipie...use whole what pasta, no sugar added spaghetti sauce, frozen vegies and you're good  So something uses alot of dairy...then use low fat products...or even organic products.
Freezing or "cooling" meat is awesome! My husband and I go every few months to a nearby whole sale store (like sams or bj's) and buy alot of meat and freeze it...this cuts down dramatically on costs and trips to the store.
As far as sandwiches for dinner, to each his/her own. Every family and household is different.

I think they are the best too.I have a big family so I have to double them. I would like for them to add more of the healthy ones and to add one every month would be great. we live off of the weekly meals so it would be great to have a bigger selection of weekly meals.

> where is this weekly menu?!
Click on "Dinner" then go to Express checkout in the middle of the page on the left hand side. Once you click on that, start scrolling down and the weekly menus are listed.

The perceived savings can be put aside for blood pressure meds/weight loss programs later.

You probably aren't saving any money since so many processed convenience foods are called for in the recipes.
Plus so many of the weekly recipes are so high in sodium and chemicals that you need to make a lot of changes to them to make them healthier if you are going to eat them every week.

I just have to say that this is the best thing, I have noticed since I have been doing the weekly menus that my grocery bill has gone down and my husband loves the fact that we are saving money and that the food is excellent. Thank you soo much for coming up with this idea. I have been telling everyone I know about this and now my mom is getting hooked to...Thanks again.

We cook outside year round provided it's not to cold for the grill to stay lit. We've been known to grill a steak when there is snow on the ground! Steak just doesn't taste the same when cooked on the stove or in the oven. And as for those in-house grills, I don't think they add the same flavor either.
Happy gardening!
