First, I can not use 99% of the advice in this book.  Stock piling homemade mixes of cakes or whatever, is a waste of time and money since ziplock bags are not hardy.  They food so carefully mixed, labeled, and stored for later would be eaten away by mice, kids, or time in my own home.  I would rather keep a very well made cookbook on hand full of my personal favorites which I would use to whip things up on the spot when I needed it.  She *does* show you how to do that, but I would rather go through createaspace and just print my own professionally.Second the figures for shopping are not even based in reality where I live.  Pineapples have been 99 cents once in the past 11 years I have lived here and it wasn't that recent.  That said, I did stock up and made enough pineapple jelly for 6 months for a few bucks.Third she has a lot of good advice about how super markets trick you.  This part of the book really opened my eyes.  I never realized some of the low down dirty sneaking things they have been doing.  You would probably benefit from this part as well.
