The $5 Dinner Mom

excellent recipes, okay, maybe not $5 recipes at my grocery store but good, easy and probably cheap meals -- just what I was looking for.

As good as it seems

I saw a copy of this book and as I looked over the recipes I saw many that I really thought I would try. I liked it enough that I bought a copy for myself and each of my children. Worth the money.

I LOVE this book! Great recipes!

This is a great book! The recipes are tasty and easy! It gave me great ideas to cut our grocery store spending! Highly recommend just for the recipes, the cost cutting advice is an extra bonus!

Amazing Resource!

I don't know why anyone would give this book a 1 star! I LOVE this book! I bought this one and Family Feasts for $75 a Week and have found both to be extremely helpful to keep our grocery bill down! I've had this for 2 weeks; I've planned and bought groceries for the entire month for my family of 3 for only $200! I live in LA and didn't think that would be possible! I love how Erin itemizes each of her ingredients by price per unit! Very cool! This is a great book for those like myself that don't enjoy cooking, but love to save money!

Great new frugal cookbook

I received a reviewer copy of this for my blog and it's great! In addition to good shopping, organizing, couponing, and menu planning tips, there is a huge selection of good sounding recipes. I've only used two so far but they were both great. Each recipe includes a breakdown of the cost of the whole meal (side dishes included) so you can see how she arrived at her figures.
