$5 dinners

I have mentioned this blog before.  It has some great cheap recipes.  Well she has a cookbook comming out.  I am  unsure if I want to buy it or not but I thought I would post the link for Amazon




You can also check out her blog

If you think you are interested in the book, you may want to check out the blog, she is currently having a giveaway of said book 10 copies a day for 2 weeks.  I put my name in, I hope I win one (becuase I may be to cheap to buy one...lol)
 
or
 
you can just check out her blog anyway.  She has some couponing, and meal planning info along with recipes.  Thier may be more there but I haven't totally explored her blog yet, I have pretty much just been doing the recipes.
 
Have fun
