review 1: What world is this woman living in where she can find boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.50 a lb and a tub of sour cream for 50 cents? This cookbook is so unrealistic for what it's supposed to be about. I can't really argue about having a lot of recipes but the whole reason I picked up this book was to find recipes on a budget. I would recommend Family Feasts for $75 a Week by Mary Ostyn instead.
review 2: This is a fairly low rating for me, but I felt it was justified. While there are a few clever tips, they are mostly pulled from other sources. With the exception of the recipes, almost everything contained can be found somewhere else and isn't exactly news to anyone who has been following this type of planning. The basis of the book is how to shop cheapl... morey, then combine that savings into your meals. This breaks every ingredient down to per use. So that squeeze of mustard is included at five cents, half a bag of noodles at twenty-five and so on. An interesting concept, but I wonder how much more a "regular" meal would cost. Like I said, it's all about the shopping though. Do yourself a favor and google the websites for coupon savings, how to save big at grocery stores and the like. You'll find far more information that way. If you're looking for a recipe book, this is an ok one, nothing I'd write home to mom about. less
