This book has given me motivation to be more cautious with the money that I spend on food and to take every opportunity to look for good deals in the grocery aisles. I have even started using coupons - which I have NEVER been good about doing before this. I learned many great tips from this book and I am excited to put them to use! (Although with three young kids in tow I don't think that I will be hitting several stores a week just for the sales. Not worth it to me!)

I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for ways to trim their grocery budget. I think that there are some great ideas that anyone could use - even if you don't feel like taking the time to go through coupons.

Interesting stuff but if you ask me a lot of it is just common sense. Anyone can save money you just have to have the desire to do so. If you're like me you've grown so use to convenience that you start forgetting about how much everything costs. Now, with student loans and medical bills coming due I'm having to look at my finances in a whole new way ( I needed to anyway but okay, I'm lazy and like convenience). Do I need to have a $25000 stock pile of food in my garage like some of these extreme shoppers? No but saving $25.00 a week would make me happy :) Worth the read! It's a fast one!

If you are just learning how to meal plan/grocery shop this is a great resource. Lots of store specific information, and lots of appendices in the back with good lists and more resources.
Not much new information for me though. A lot of it is available at her website too.

Same old stuff as many, many other books - but if it were your first introduction to couponing and saving money on groceries, I think it would be extremely helpful.
