LOVE, LOVE , LOVE this book! you won't be dissapointed! [Posted on 2008-09-25]
I bought this book a few years ago and use it every week. She gives such good examples of ways to save on everything from food, to gift giving. She lists tons of ideas so you don't feel deprived at all! All of her recipes are easy and she gives lists of cheap inexpensive but healthy meals. I would reccomend this book to anyone! It would be an awesome gift for a new bride as well or for christmas times are hard and this book helps you stretch a buck!!!

Great Cookbook and more! [Posted on 2008-10-13]
This is a fantastic cookbook. There is a huge range of recipes that and advice that make it ideal for everyone, (not just the frugal). I borrowed it from my mom and had to end up buying one for myself. My husband is a very picky eater, and I have had the most compliments from meals I have made from this cookbook.

However,

I believe one of best sections of this book comes after the recipes. About a quarter of the book is dedicated to cleaning recipes, and make your own gifts and goodies. There are some jar mix recipes, but there is also a whole section on beauty supplies (bath fizzies, soap etc.) that make great gifts. I put together beauty baskets for friends for Christmas with the recipes and saved so much money. You will love this book!!

Really good cookbook [Posted on 2008-12-06]
Bought this book for my daughter for Christmas. She is on a budget and just beginning to have an interest in cooking. I also have this book so I knew that it was a good one. I have a whole collection of cookbooks but use this one a lot.

Still trying to decide... [Posted on 2009-01-01]
I have had this book for over a year now, and I am still trying to decide if I like it. It is very typical of a frugal diet that is high in sugar, oil, and white flour. If you see no issue with putting one cup of oil and one cup of sugar in a simple loaf and think you are being frugal, then this is probably the book for you. I do like the flavors of the recipes, but I am not sure that I want to continue adjusting every recipe that I try to make it healthier. For my money, I will stick to Whole Foods for the Whole Family (La Leche League) and the More With Less Cookbook (Doris Longacre). Those books focus more on healthy food for less money.

Love this book! More than just recipes! [Posted on 2009-01-06]
I love this book and I use it a lot. The recipes are easy and there is way more to the book than the cooking recipes.

There are ideas for economical gifts like gift baskets and mixes you can make at home. There are also recipes for your own beauty and cleaning products. I love the tips that appear throughout the book.

This is one of the most useful books that I own.
