These tips are a great addition to the book, whether they were cheaper substitutions or ways to keep extra ingredients longer. The author did include tips on saving money with each recipe. Budget conscious suggestions for this style of cooking is greatly needed. Gluten-free cooking, for example, can be very costly. The book would be improved by listing cost effective solutions for those on special diets. In fact, I did not see many substitutions for other dietary needs. But I was disappointed to find no recipes for gluten-free substitutions. There are substitutions listed for vegetarian cooking. One thing the book promised were substitutions for those with various dietary needs. The recipes are varied enough to appeal to a variety of palates. There is Monkey Bread and Peach Bubble Cake recipes in the dessert section. Some of the recipes in the book include Zucchini-Pasta Bake, Hearty Vegetable and Barley Soup, and Ginger Beef 'n' Broccoli. The author provides meal plans at the back of the book for those needing a little help with meal planning. I liked that each section offered a range of meals from inexpensive to splurges. The book is laid out very nicely with clearly defined sections for breakfast, meats, pasta, vegetables, desserts, and more. It provides convenient and healthy meals as well. Freezing extra food saves a lot of money. The author gives good advice on what foods freeze well. I really liked the section on freezing food. The recipes range from less than one dollar a meal to costlier ones reserved for splurges. Each recipe comes with a dollar sign denoting how it falls on the cost scale. What attracted me to Budget Bytes was its emphasis on cutting your grocery bill without cutting out the taste. ![]() There are lots of wonderful cookbooks on the market.
