The title of this book intrigued me so I decided to give it a try.Although I do agree with some of the ideas the author brings up, like buying and serving a lot of root vegetables (especially in season) I do not agree with many other things in this book.Using a lot of salt to season foods (instead of healthy herbs and spices) is not my idea of "saving" . Salt can be very harmful to our health and should only be used sparingly, if at all. Also, the author mentions using a lot of butter and margarine at times, again things that are not good, health wise, especially in large quantities. Lots of emphasis on eating chicken too.There is no mention here of organics or non-GMO produce or other products either. Again, in the long run, I think buying healthier foods and other grocery items is still the better way to go. Getting sick from eating less than optimal foods of all types is not saving anything, in the big picture.Deleted from my kindle already.
