Customer Reviews

This book has cut my grocery bill in half.

I recommend this book for all budget minded families, not just for the recipes but for the knowledge about budgeting food. Even with today's prices, the recipes are excellent for saving money. The food is not bland or boring. I have had no complaints from my spouse or children and they are very quick to turn up their noses at food that does not appeal to them.

I didn't know hamburger was a Gourmet food

Ok so Carl didn't refer to a lot of hamberger (none in fact) but he sure dosen't shop at the same store I do. My average price per meal was around $4. Still good though, well worth the price of addmission.

Easy to follow recipes. Ingredients are easily found.

You will not feel as if you are deprived or going without using any of the recipes in this book. Many of the recipes can be put together very quickly. The savings comes from not using pre-packaged foods. Since we all know pre-packaged foods are loaded with sodium and other preservatives, this little book can also be considered good for your health!
