Summary: Not worth shelf space in a library!
Comment: No question in my mind why this book is no longer in print! One of the repeated themes in this book is to not shop with your children because they will just whine and beg you to buy all of the snack foods they see on TV. The author then goes on to say that for an entire summer they utilized only kerosene light as they watched TV to save money on their electric bill. DUH! TURN OFF THE TV! There is also a fascinating segment toward the back of the book on how to prepare "shrubs" which can replace the cost of alcohol in your budget. ??? I was waiting for her to tell me how to build the still! Full of sarcastic humor...brownie recipes that contain 3 cups of flour and 5 cups of sugar....save the money you would have spent on this book and apply it to your grocery bill!

Summary: Not bad....
Comment: Although most of these ideas in this book are pretty good, I draw the line at purchasing $.49 per pound hotdogs at Aldis to save on "meat" costs, or feeding my dog and cat the cheapest pet food available, to save money (it won't save money on vet bills). She even suggests you just get a smaller pet to save money! Not an option. But overall she does give some good ideas on buying in bulk, comparison shopping, stretching foods, etc. Probably a good buy for someone starting out, but I would round it out with other books such as Tightwad Gazette or some basic cookbooks.

Summary: Feed your family well ... while you spend less.
Comment: Learn how, where, and when to shop, smart ways to eat out, and how to use food you might have otherwise thrown out. Money saving tips include cheap cleaning solutions, and advice on growing your own harvest. Ideal for young people just starting out.

Summary: A must read for anyone who wants to cut their grocery bill !
Comment: This book is so complete with facts and methods to cut ANYONE'S grocery bill, it is amazing. Pat Edwards includes not only the standard helps of coupon cutting and supermarket tricks but suggestions for growing and making your own products. The book is written to help the reader find their own best method and places to shop. Sprinkled with comments that make me life at myself, this book is both humerous and informative. I have searched for a book like this for years !
