Impossible? This family lay out step by step plans proving that anyone can do the same! The book covers topics such as how to plan your grocery shopping and tips for stretching that dollar at the store by seeking out the deals, organizing your kitchen, using coupons, cooking in bulk, planting a garden, recipes, and even a bonus section for singles and empty-nesters.
What I Thought:
My husband and I have recently started eating more at home and being conscious of our shopping habits, both for health and budgetary reasons. This book peaked my interest, and I found it to be very helpful!
The authors are very aware that their lifestyle is not the norm in our society, and that it took them a long time to build up to the efficiency that they now enjoy. In their book, they are nothing but encouraging and understanding that what they do may not be for everyone! With that in mind, I especially appreciated the tips at the end of each chapter written specifically for people with various skill levels in mind: tips for those just beginning, those who have been doing it for some time, and those who have been doing it for a long time and are ready for a further challenge.
I especially enjoyed the chapters about once a month shopping and cooking and kitchen organization. These are concepts that I hope to incorporate into our lives, but perhaps and a smaller scale. (Especially since we don't have children!)
This is a great book for those who are looking to save both time and money in the kitchen!
