Book Review: Feeding Your Family On Less

With the rising price of food, you may be wondering, is there anything else I can do to stretch my dollars? Anything I've overlooked? Some trick I don't already know? If any of these thoughts have run through your head, then I would recommend that you purchase Carrie's e-book "Feeding Your Family on Less: How to Cut Your Grocery Bill By At Least Half Without Sacrifice or Discomfort."

Carrie has acquired the advanced homemaking skill of feeding her family of ten for less than $150 every other week. What is so amazing here is that she doesn't have any livestock, dairy operation, or any other vast renewable food supply, other than the seasonal garden that most of us also have. What she does have is a lot of great advice and a unique system for shopping and menu planning. I have read a few other e-books on this topic, and I can say that Carrie's "system" is not like any of them. She does not have you going to ten different stores while cross-referencing multiple sale flyers or, compromising by buying ten of something you don't want because it's almost free. No, her system has you going to your regular store and getting in and out fast, without losing out. I love that she also supplies blank sample forms to help get you started.

This is fascinating reading, and really worth a look. Even if you just take some of her ideas and integrate them into your own routine, the five dollar investment will pay for itself in just one trip to the store.
