About book Family Feasts For $75 A Week: A Penny-wise Mom Shares Her Recipe For Cutting Hundreds From Your Monthly Food Bill (2009)
I liked this book well enough to purchase it after having the library copy checked out. The author has some helpful tips. What i most appreciate is the recipes for salad dressings, croutons, granola, international as well as other entrees and baked goods. She helps you to make a lot of basics that go into recipes, such as sauces or soup mixes or how to substitute tomato paste for pureed tomatoes. I've already tried over 14 recipes, making several of them multiple times. When I requested this book, I thought it would just be a cookbook. While there are about 200 recipes, the first several chapters of the book are dedicated to frugal grocery shopping. Unlike the Coupon Mom, she doesn't rely on coupons, but careful meal planning (she has 10 kids!). She's also fairly into nutrition and not eating a lot of processed food, and discussed the organic issue a little.I thought the tone of the book was very down-to-earth and her advice was sound. She didn't offer anything earth-shattering, but she made me think about some of our dietary choices. Definitely worth checking out if you're trying to save money on groceries.
