5.0 out of 5 stars I saved the cost of this book the first week I used it!, April 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Diabetes Meal Planning on $7 a Day -- Or Less! (Paperback)

I heard about this book on a local radio show. It sounded good, so I ordered it and have been very pleased. I used the shopping tips in the book and saved $15 on my first trip to the grocery store! There are also 100 wonderful recipes and a week's worth of menus. The recipes are easy and taste great. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to eat right without spending lots of $$$.

Make your own croutons, enjoy a tropical slushy, or serve cinnamon-honey eggnog. Each recipe includes the cost per serving, the diabetic exchange information and the preparation time.
It's not easy eating right for diabetes, but this book can be a big help.
