Great Prices! July 17, 2008
27 out of 27 found this review helpful
This is incredible! I hardly ever cook on my own and consequently I am not aware of the normal cost of preparing one's own meal. But after reading this book I started shop for my own groceries and cooking my own meals. It's interesting how much money one could save by simply putting his mind to it. And for those who still go out for their meals I suggest getting hold of Eat This Not That!: Thousands of Simple Food Swaps That Can Save You 10, 20, 30 Pounds-or More!.
Incredible book for a Bachelor Guy July 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm a bachelor and this book meets my dietary consumption. I eat a lot of food because I am training for a marathon and for competition. This book has great recipes for a single guy like me. The leftovers are great too. Really like this recipe book and the food that is suggested. Healthy for an athlete.

I think this book is great. It has wonderful recipes that are healthy and in the correct portion sizes. The Asian cuisines are absolutely wonderful and are some of the few recipes that have the rice listed as part of the recipe.
I have a family of five, and the recipes are all well received and feed my family nicely. The Asian society has the lowest rate of heart disease. The AMA suggests that rice is a big part of the reason they have a low rate of heart disease.
The book is an excellent book, with many of resources in addition to the recipes, which I was rather surprised by. It appears this author really does know how to save money, which is refreshing.
Usually when I purchase a money saving book on how to live frugally and save money, the authors of those books do not give real life examples. However, this author, Jaci Rae, does give real life examples and great advice.
The recipes, as I stated, are not only delicious, but they are healthy and feed more than the allotted amount and the advice in the book about debt and how to get rid of the debt load as well as the money saving advice is a great piece of education.
This is on my list for great Christmas Books to give for Christmas and for birthdays. My son is going away to college and I just purchased another book for him to take with him. He has been using the recipes and loves them.
I do believe that my favorite recipe listed in this book is the homemade turkey Thanksgiving Dinner recipe or perhaps the Vegetable Chow Mien (for those people who are Vegan or Vegetarians, this author has included many recipes that are for this category of family or single person or the author has suggested substitutions. Really, quite unique for a cookbook.)
The Lentil Soup is incredible too and my husband loves the Oyster Chowder recipe (I did not know I could make this from scratch, but it can be done and it is healthy as well as delicious.)
My children's' favorite recipes (they range in age from 10 - 18) so far are the Citrus Chicken recipe and the Mexican Chicken Enchilada Lasagna or for desert the Chocolate Chip Popcorn or the homemade Chocolate Angel Food Cake.
This book is definitely a cookbook that will be in my kitchen for some time to come.
Handy Tips For The Budget Conscious June 22, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
In these times of skyrocketing prices of virtually everything across the board, tips on saving costs are essential for many people's survival, particularly families.
5 Meals for $5 offers excellent advice on saving money when it comes to creating and preparing meals. Not only are the meal ideas cheap to make, they nutritionally balances as well; which is even more important than the cost.
Every reader will find recipes to suit their tastes, and there is certainly no shortage of variety to please and be appreciated by even the most discerning of palates.
This is not just a book of tasty recipes, but a wealth of cost-saving information.
