Book Description

Melissa “Liss” Burnell has provided an extensive frugal living resource online for over a decade and presents a 2012 Grocery guide for struggling students and families of all sizes and income ranges.
The average family of 4 in the United States spends more than $700 a month on groceries alone. In the “2012 Family Guide to Groceries under $250 a Month" the author outlines how and where to cut grocery expenses to get spending under control while opening the consumers eyes to little known dirty manipulation tactics employed by retailers to seduce unsuspecting customers into spending sprees.
For many people struggling to maintain a budget, the cost of groceries is the only major expense in their control that can be drastically reduced without feeling a negative impact on their lifestyle. Liss explains in detail how to make simple changes that will not only pinch pennies, but help pinch Benji’s too!

1.0 out of 5 stars No New Ideas September 1, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I downloaded this eBook for free during a promotion hoping for some new budget-trimming ideas. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything new that hasn't already been covered by money-saving blogs and other frugal gurus. The book is full of grammatical errors, which makes it painful to read. Proofreading/editing would make this book more appealing.

Liss has given us ( excuse the pun )food for thought.Unfortunately as a single homemaker,they do not work for me.I also think that she could have included some healthier food choices.

4.0 out of 5 stars great start for new families February 17, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I really did enjoy reading this book. i think the ideas were fairly common for the experienced housewife, but it never hurts to get reminded about the basics. i think a young family that is just starting and not as experienced would benefit a great deal from this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy to follow
The information in this book is easy to follow but nothing new and exciting. If you live in an apartment or a home with no storage, buying in bulk is not feasible.
