Erin,

I just want to add my praise to the list for your site. I have really enjoyed seeing you not only stay within your given budget amounts, but have made several of your recipes. I love to save but only this past January became a die hard coupon shopper. I love that I can slash my grocery bill all while preparing a healthy dinner. Saving at the store does not mean compromising on nutrition. I love testing out some of your recipes. Tonight, it’s applesauce chicken and roasted acorn squash. Thanks so much for all you put into your site. Our family is truly blessed by your efforts.

My heart goes out to your oldest! Both of my boys were lactose intolerant, but my oldest grew out of it. Unfortunately, my youngest can’t drink milk at all. He can eat a lot of dairy, but forget milk. We did find out he’s allergic to carrots, some tomato depending on how it’s processed and can’t digest corn. Before we had our boys, we had to deal with our dog who was highly allergic to wheat products. There was only one kind of food she could eat that was wheat free. Then there were her other allergies. By the time the boys came along it was nothing to adjust to theirs. My youngest is trickier, but we’re managing.

Hi,
I found your information in the Woman’s Day magazine and found it interesting, $5 dinners. I’m a working mom, m-f 8-5, with a wonderful husband who helps out a lot, and three joyful boys, 15 yrs old and 11 yr old twins. We are located in Napa, CA. I want to be more efficient and save money with meals and grocery shopping and after reviewing your website, I don’t know where to begin. I find the coupon world really confusing and how to make use of them. Also, due to limited time I like to only shop at Safeway. My question to you is, where do I start, how would I make the best use of this website?
Thanks for your suggestions in advance,
Kristy

I LOVE your site! I have yet to try anything (just found the site today) but I’m already planning to snip coupons and stalk the sales papers! My DH is deploying to Afghan in January so I’ll just be making dinner for myself and my 18 month old daughter. I really want/need to learn how to shop and budget. I make homemade meals now but they are costing more than they should. Glad you started this site! God Bless you and your family!

Hi, I just saw you on RR and had a look to yur website, it is great thanks for thinking in sharing it with other people, I know it should take a lot of time to do and maintain.

I work from home and my wife works out so most of the days I cook and your recepies are great. The hardest is to think what to cook today, so just an idea for lazy people like me or for millions of young people that or do no have the cooking knowledge or just lazy to do it, it will be great if you can make recepies distributed per week, just for 4 different weeks will help a lot with ideas, I think just dinner will be enough e.g Monday (xxxx), Tuesday (yyyy), Wednesday (zzzz) …….

Probably with the time you can get enough data (recepies) to do a calender for the whole year customised by cheapest seasonal products, it will be a nice book to have (I know seasons are different around the world but the products that grow in each season are the same, so recepies for the whole year distributed by season instead of a calender month will apply around the world).

Cheers,

Just an idea,

Cheers,
