The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook Giveaway

This past week I made two recipes from the newly released $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook written by Erin of $5 Dinners. I made the Asian Chicken Wraps and Beef Roast and Potatoes. They were both VERY easy to prepare and delicious. Sure wish I’d remembered to take pictures for you.
The unique thing about Erin’s cookbook though is that out of the 200 recipes included every one of them was made for $5 or less. That’s quite a feet. And while I’m not sure I could match the prices she is able to achieve in her hometown of Dayton, Ohio, since I live up here in Northern Canada where groceries are pretty expensive, I do like that she breaks down the cost of each ingredient so you know exactly how she got to her total.
As you would expect the ingredients are straight forward and not fancy schmancy. I’m not a fancy girl by any stretch of the imagination and definitely don’t have the time to be running all over town trying to find something I can’t even pronounce that is for sure.
Another fabulous take away of the $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook, that I was really impressed with, are the many pages of how-to information at the beginning about strategic grocery shopping, couponing and meal planning. Everything you need to know about these topics is detailed for you in plain English so you can be saving money in no time. Erin does a great job of breaking it all down for you step by step so you too can be a savvy supermarket shopper.
My only disappointment about this cookbook is that each recipe does not include a picture. However several pictures are included in the middle of the book. I do understand though that it’s done this way in order to keep costs down. The $5 Dinner Mom Cookbook is currently available on Amazon for only $10.19.
I have TWO copies to giveaway to two of my readers. To enter just leave a comment on this post telling me what your favorite comfort food is?
