This review is from: Feed Your Family For $12.00 A Day: A Complete Guide to Nutritious, Delicious Meals for Less Money (Paperback)

If you visit the publishers website, you will see that this book, "Feed Your Family for $12 a Day",... is an UPDATED version of her previous book,.."Feed Your Family for $50 a Week". It was not meant to be a NEW book,.. it is an UPDATED version of the previous book. You don't need BOTH books.

This review is from: Feed Your Family For $12.00 A Day: A Complete Guide to Nutritious, Delicious Meals for Less Money (Paperback)

I purchased this book because I needed help shopping and planning my meals. I work FT and I don't have the time or the need to bargain shop. The problem is I can go to the supermarket spend a couple of hundred dollars and not come home with any "food." We get snacks and a little of this and a little of that but I go to make dinner and there is no way that we have food for 3 meals a day for 4 people. This was a good planning book. Since money was not really an issue for us, I purchased slightly higher end items, like fresh whole wheat bread instead of day old white, soy milk instead of regular or kielbasa instead of hot dogs. I clearly ran over the suggested budget in the book but we: 1) spent far less than we normally do, 2) had "food" all week and a much better variety 3) felt more organized about what's for dinner issues.

Regarding saving money, I think I was looking for a magic trick. At the end of the day, it's mostly common sense things like shop at cheap supermarkets and use cupons. For us, how to get your family organized with food was very helpful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Feed Your Family for 12 a Day, October 30, 2002

This book is a waste of money IF you have purchased her second book--Eat Healthy for 50 a week. It is virtually the same material--page for page all recipes are the same and the only real differences are an update on her family status and four new menus and shopping lists. The "hypothetical family" scenario is word for word the same as in her previous two books as is most of the other info in the other chapters. Save your money--only buy ONE of her books. Either will give you the same info.
