"In Money Saving Meals and Round 2 Recipes, Sandra Lee helps readers save money one recipe at a time as she does in her highly popular Food Network show, "Sandra's Money-Saving Meals." The cookbook includes approximately 150 recipes and 90 photos, and each recipe combination offers one main dish and an additional "round two" recipe--a recipe developed using the same base ingredient as the main recipe, with the concept of buying a little more of the ingredient and making a lot more out of it. These recipes are quick, easy, and made-from-scratch-style. Each includes a cost breakdown including everyday costs, the money-saving pricing, and the total savings, so that readers see what they save and what they spend with every dish. Also included will be tips on how to save while shopping and how to be a smart shopper and clever coupon user; plus, a listing of ready-made convenience products that are cheaper to buy than to make from scratch. Finally, there will be a cost comparison on what you'd save if you cooked Sandra's way twice a week, three times a week, four times a week, and the entire week, for one year. The savings, and the value of this cookbook, will quickly add up. In these budget-conscious times, Sandra's money-saving meals will hit home with a huge audience, offering "the maximum joy with the minimum stress.""--
