Might Be Worth It if It's Free

By Shmonkey on April 10, 2012

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

I got this book for free but if I had paid for it I think I would be pretty disappointed. It reads like a magazine article from All You magazine where they just throw random tips at you and hope that one sticks. There are a couple of good tips (the soda bottle sealer, for example) but the rest are a combination of things you already know and things that just seem unappealing. For example, shower cap as a reusable plastic wrap? Are the plastics used in shower caps even safe to be in long term contact with food? Why not just invest in some nice Pyrex or tuppewear set that can, not only store left overs, but go from freezer to microwave and safely transport your food? A lot of the tip involves salvaging near expired food, freezing, using concentrates, and microwaving so if you're someone that likes to "eat fresh" there's very very little in here for you.

Internet Makes Obsolete

By Amazon Customer on June 17, 2012

Format: Kindle Edition

I downloaded this small book, Frugal Kitchen Tips, for free out of curiosity, and although I found it easy to read and filled with good frugal kitchen tips, my opinion is that the internet unfortunately makes this book, and others like it, obsolete. Rather than keep this small book on hand and search through it when facing a kitchen challenge, I'd personally prefer to simply do a quick internet search for a solution.

That said, Frugal Kitchen Tips might make a nice gift for someone just starting out on their own, maybe a new college student or recent college graduate, who'd maybe benefit from a nudge in the right direction.

This book has many new tips!

By Anna on June 18, 2012

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

I downloaded this onto my Kindle because it was free. I really didn't expect much because I've read so many "frugal" books and blogs, but there were many tips that I'd never heard. All of the tips seemed very realistic and easy to implement, which is often not the case in other books like this. This is great "tip" book, written in an easy-going style with real-world uses.

Good Ideas - Recommended

By C. Hill HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on January 26, 2012

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

This short book has quite a few handy tips for saving money while shopping, preparing food, and even a few suggestions for around the house and for the car. This is a bit of a mixed lot, but some will help. Having recently lost my job, we need to cut back our expenses and several of these tips are definitely helpful.

The book was free, so that increases the rating too.

Recommended!

I expected more.

By Beverly K Hadley on February 23, 2013

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

While this might be helpful to someone just starting out I only found two or three tips I didn't already know about. Since the app was free I can't complain too much though.

Not much new

By J. Campbell on February 22, 2013

Format: Kindle Edition

Not a bad deal for free but I wouldn't pay anything for this book. Most tips are easily found by Googling or on much better blogs.
