The book has sections for different types of entrees and other courses, with chapters entitled "Super-Saver Soups and Stews," "Fast and Frugal Sandwiches" and "Money-Saving Sides." In addition to the recipes, the book is also loaded with an abundance of shopping and preparation advice. These appear throughout the book in sidebars and boxes, as well short detailed spreads to further explain how to economize and stay within the budget. The least expensive dishes are marked with a picture of a penny with "Super-Cheap!" superimposed.
One review at Amazon describes it this way:
<blockquote>The title of this wonderful cookbook doesn't begin to tell the tale. It's packed with charming anecdotes, shopping and storage advice, cooking tips, hints for entertaining and feeding kids -- and that's all gravy on top of over 275 remarkably easy-to-make, nutritious and delicious recipes. This is big book in every way: full of information and insights about how to eat well for less, and how to plan, shop, and cook in the most efficient way possible. A bargain at $13.95 -- this is a budget bible of a cookbook that belongs up there on your shelf with Joy of Cooking and Fanny Farmer</blockquote>
Certainly worth picking up at the library to test read and then deciding whether to add it to your cookbook library.
