This was an informative little book. I already try to save as much as possible but I still learned a few things from this book. The freezer cooking is something I just started doing but I think I'll be getting one of those vacuum sealer things to make it easier as the author suggests. A lot of useful information but I do agree that in a lot of areas it will still be hard to feed a family of 4 for under $200 a month. There was also a nice section in the book with recipes. A quick read that took under an hour.
At the time I downloaded this ebook to my kindle it was being offered free in the kindle book store, which in no way affected my review.

This ebook offers great advice for anyone wanting to lower their grocery bill; the strategies are proven and very much do-able. However, I follow this advice already and groceries for our family of 4 are still $400 a month. We do not live in an expensive, urban area, either. So...follow the book's advice, but know that it will likely cost you more than $200 a month for a family of 4.

This is a good book to help you get started. I didn't find much that I hadn't already practiced, I've fed the family on less than 200 per month, for many more years than I care to count.
The key is to make stuff yourself instead of buying ready made. That and don't call the meat part of the $200, I spent my meat budget for my 2 week period, and then bought all other needed groceries. Since I wasn't big on things like ketchup, and pasta sauces etc, the major part of the 2 weeks budget was for flour, and veggies, and cleaning supplies.
I bought in a large a lots as possible, and kept an eye out for sales, buying extra when it was on sale at a great price.
But don't get into the fix two meals one for the kids and one for the adults, simply encourage the kids to eat what is put in front of them, and don't feed them mac and cheese, yes its quick and easy, but its not good for them. As a once in awhile treat its fine, but daily or even twice a week its copping out! It was never in my house.

In this economy this book does not apply. To feed a family of 4 and eat thrifty one would need $600.00

Not much new
Here... often found advice... good reminders.. I have 8 people in our home and this book has not convinced me that feeding them on $200 a month is possible.
