24-Hour Giveaway: 5 copies of Family Feasts for $75 a Week

I recently had the opportunity to review Mary Ostyn's new book, Family Feasts for $75 a Week. I admit I was a bit skeptical about whether or not I'd learned much from this book, despite the fact that I have enjoyed Mary's blog, Owlhaven. Sometimes it feels like I'm scrimping and pinching just about everything I can out of each penny of our grocery budget and there's not much more I could learn on the subject of cutting your grocery bill.

But after reading this book, I decided that is definitely not the case. And my frugal friend Catherine agrees, as well.

Family Feasts for $75 a Week is packed with fresh content, step-by-step instructions for whittling down your grocery bill, and over 200 delicious recipes. I disagree with Mary's take on coupons (she only devoted a tiny section of the book to them and basically passed them off as a lot of work for little return!), but I was able to overlook that since there were so many other helpful tips and new ideas in this book.

If you are new to this whole frugal thing and wishing someone could show you the nuts and bolts of how to reduce your grocery bill, this book is most definitely for you. And those of us who are more the "old dogs" in the pack can definitely pick up a few new tricks as well--at least I know I did!

Want to read more about this book? Amazon has some very thorough reviews here.
