Summary: If you're really frugal, don't buy this cookbook
Comment: Save your money. This cookbook is not worth your time. I love and collect cookbooks, so I was very disappointed when I began reading this rather pathetic book. I would say it is probably the worst cookbook I have ever purchased. It went immediately to our local thrift store. Maybe they will get a quarter for it.

Summary: great review
Comment: I received the book in good time and in good shape as stated.

Summary: My Favorite Cookbook!
Comment: I mainly bake for my family, as my husband enjoys cooking our meals. This cookbook is my favorite. The Supreme Chocolate Cake with Fluffy Fudge Frosting is a must at each birthday throughout the year. Also, the Cold Blueberry Pie (Openfaced Blueberry Pie in the third edition of the book) is fantastic. My friends request that I make that for all our get-togethers. The Gingerbread recipe is another favorite. I could go on and on....I recieved this book as a gift about 15 years ago and it shows. It was falling apart. Thankfully, Mary published another edition. My daughter now has editions 2 and 3 in her collection of cookbooks. I know that she too will be using these cookbooks long into the future.

Summary: Adequate, I guess
Comment: I really liked "Dining on a Dime" a lot better. Not much new info, and a lot of info I just didn't need. The recipes didn't look that great, and there weren't that many tips. Nice cover, though.

Summary: Contains the same info AND some updates! Yay!
Comment: The fact that this book is in its THIRD edition is a very, very good thing, proving that it was popular enough to merit a third edition. I have a copy that is wearing out so it was time for a new one.
Happily, the new edition contains some updates which make it easer for today's families to stay within a food budget. The author has remained flexible and open-minded enough to accommodate the busy lives of many families today and to acknowledge that not everyone can spend hours in the kitchen making meals. There are still plenty of homecooked meals that DO take some time and planning ahead but there are others that don't take nearly as long.
I'd strongly recommend you use the "Search Inside the Book" function here at Amazon to get an idea of the contents of this book...and then buy a copy. It'll be worth it!
