This is not a book about how to "live without," but instead about how to have it all maybe just in a roundabout way. She and her family live life to the fullest and have a lot of fun along the way!
I have been an avid reader of Amy's blog (momadvice.com) for years and I wondered if I would actually find any new information in the book. I did. A lot. Plus unlike a daily blog where I might read a five minute post on a single topic, I was able instead to sit and savor full chapters with Amy's wonderful ideas and stories of what has worked for her (or hasn't!) over the years.
Some of the recipes in the book were ones I have seen (and made) from her website---however this was actually one of my favorite parts of this book. I bought "The Good Life for Less" thinking I would read it and then give it to my sister to read. After about two chapters and many pages flagged by me I got to the recipes. So many of her best (and my favorites now!) were there--Pot Roast Italiano, Bow Ties with Sausage Tomatoes and Cream, Homemade Chai Mix, Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kabobs---I quickly realized this book will become a resource book for me that I will use for years to come. I have gone online so many times to look up these recipes or printed them and not put them somewhere where I could find them. Now I have them all in one place! And it looks like my sister will get her own copy as well.
This would be an excellent book for a new college grad, newlywed or a new mom. Amy's personal stories of her own trials of going from a complete non-cook to a well-respected domestic blogger as well as her struggles and success of getting out of debt are a true inspiration. You relate to her as a friend. She isn't "preachy" in her advice or delivery---she is just a friend chatting over a cup of coffee. I walked away from this book WANTING to create a budget, set my meals for a month, spend less at the grocery store and eat better. I might even try and make some of my own cleaning products! GREAT BOOK, GREAT ADVICE! Buy two or three copies today---you will want to share the ideas (but not YOUR book!) with a friend over coffee!!
I will keep Amy's book handy and will refer to it often!
