  30. I would lóve to have the cookbook! I live in Europe, here also the crisis has hit us badly. My husband lost his job and we are living from scrap these days. Normally a wonderful cook, I loose my enthousiasm for it, simply because meals are made of what I have in the cupboard, in stead of what I would like to cook. So I have high hopes this book might motivate me back into the frugal kitchen- the nice and inspirational way! I do believe so strongly family meals should be inspirational, both to cook and to enjoy, don’t you?

  334. I want The Frugal Foodie Cookbook, please.

    Actually, I feel rude putting it in those exact words. What I would like to say is that “I would like the Frugal Foodie Cookbook very much, please!”

    I just returned My Life in France by Julia Child to the library, and I was so excited to try some of her recipies…but have you seen her recipies?! Ouch, pricey.

    I’m a true, true Foodie. I’m a Frugalista, and I NEED this book!
