One way to save money is not to buy this book. Bottom line, the tips offered to save money are cook your own food, don’t waste what you bought, buy in bulk, cook in bulk and then freeze, and I may have slept through the rest. The USDA, of food stamp infamy, provides more extensive tips on how to save food money than this book. The recipes and menus offered here are repetitive, boring, and oh so bean and pasta heavy and don’t particularly have much to do with buying organic. While not advertised as such, the recipes are also all vegetarian. Nothing wrong with that except these are dull vegetarian recipes, the kind that make you crave a bucket of fried chicken. Yes, buy organic when you can and organic can fit your budget if you plan wisely but you don’t need this book to tell you that.
