I found a number of good ideas for saving money and I appreciate the links for planning meals. I appreciate what the Author has contributed.About half the recipes given sounded just like staple food recipes I've used for years and are good. But a number of recipes use quite a bit of saturated fats...one recipe called for 3 cups milk or cream and 1 cup sour cream and 2 cups grated cheese. Other recipes call for 1 to 2 cups heavy cream. That's a lot of saturated fats in only one meal. No serving sizes are listed on many of the recipes. Other recipes such as cookies...one cookie is a serving.If I were to use many of the recipes, I would have to modify the fats used with fat free or low fat substitutions. Or make other healthy substitutions such as using low fat Greek yogurt in place of sour cream,etc. I would also substitute the saturated fat with a healthy fat such as olive oil or other appropriate fats.Inexperienced cooks might find substitutions or other recipe changes to be hard to do to make  healthier versions of recipes..Kindle version for several reasons is terrible on my Kindle Fire HD 8,9". The Freezer and Veg/fruit Charts are indented too much making them into a puzzle to figure out. This was so, despite changing font size down to a 4 point size and also rotating Kindle in hopes for the best. The other issue is formatting...page breaks should have been used between sections and also between recipes which would have made individual recipe reading much easier.
