review 1: I have mixed feeling about this book. I liked a lot of what the author's thinking porcess on most thinkgs for example using coupons/ getting it cheap or free on items that you don't use is not really a deal. Another example is cloth diapers vs dispoal diaper. She takes all the cost of cleaning the cloth diapers into consideration. There are some parts in the book I didn't think were updated like there is no metioning how to budget in home internet.I didn't like how everything goes back to 1991. That is over 20 years ago and things were a lot different then.
review 2: Great info for working and stay-at-home moms. I appreciated the info on the "cost of working", I never realized how much it cost me just to have a job, no wonder I never had any money back then. Th
... moree recipes are pretty good too, the cinnamon rolls are to die for, except I added 1 cup Cool Whip to the frosting for a fluffier texture and creamy flavor. It definatly makes me realize that when I go back to work someday, I will need do a lot of meal planning and budgeting in order to save money so that I have money for the higher priorities on my list. less

Book is definitely more for stay-at-home moms, and I wish the title would have reflected that.

Skimmed this one at the library- not new info, but would be a good read for new parents.

Great read. Lots of good money saving advice even if you aren't a mom.

Some helpful info. I read the 1996 edition, which is pretty outdated.
