Purchase options and add-ons

Are you going through a tough time financially? One place you may have to cut back is your food budget. The Flat Broke Cookbook is about shopping for food with limited funds and still feeding your family tasty and nutritious meals. It assumes you have a bit of money to spend, but not a lot. At the same time, you might be living off the supplies in your pantry or freezer for similar reasons.These recipes are not for folks counting grams of carbohydrates or for people who will eat nothing but organic food straight from the farmer’s market. (Although, you can opt for organic versions of all the food mentioned if you’re not in a bind financially.) Tough times call for tough measures.These recipes are simple, filling scratch-cooking to keep you nourished when times are tough. There are also instructions for the scratch cooking of some foods you may not regularly use. Don't worry if you don't usually cook from scratch - this book will walk you through everything, step-by-step and you won't be asked to make a Julia-Child-style-souffle that you caramelize with a blowtorch. You won't need any fancy equipment or outrageous ingredients for these simple, inexpensive, and tasty recipes.The recipes are extremely flexible, so there aren't a lot of details about servings or prep time. You can make them completely from scratch or you can use convenience items you have on hand. Included are tips for stretching your recipes to feed the number of people you have around the table.Frugal food can be delicious!

Really good, down-home cooking. No ingredients you can’t find anywhere in the USA or Canada (the target audience). Tasty cooking that doesn’t cost much money or even that much time. Very good advice about how to stretch your food budget.

Really, folks. This would be a good gift for anyone just starting out, setting up their first kitchen, on their first job.

I think this is a excellent book. A lot of people could use the information Daisy writes in the book. Many people today don’t know about hard times. When a person goes through a hard time it makes them stronger and more resilient and resourceful. This book can teach people to be resourceful. I wish this book could be given when someone receives food stamps or government assistance. They would be able to make there food go much further. I highly recommend this book for everyone.

Love, love, love this book. I pretty much like everything Daisy writes, and this book is no exception. My kids grew up and have been on their own for a few years and I had mostly quit cooking for myself but this little book inspired me to start again. Great roast chicken recipe!

This was a little “too broke” for us haha. Some interesting things, but I can’t imagine I’ll use it a ton. Very good advice for those who are really pinching pennies or in a tough stop.

We've been through some rough patches. I wish I'd had this book then. I am glad that I have it now! The recipes are simple and nutrituionally sound. The tips for learning to cook from scratch are helpful for those not used to doing so.

I thumbed through this book and almost none of the recipes I would use. Am I too picky? Not broke enough? Not sure. I also already know how to make many staples from scratch.

Seriously one of the best book ever. I was disappointed at first because there is no pictures and lots of text, BUT, that lasted about 5 minutes. I started reading it and literally read it cover to cover in one shot. So many tips and tricks. So many ideas. So many recipes that are so simple and easy. Most importantly, they’re recipes that even my kids would eat, recipes that don’t require 25 ingredients and that are really inexpensive. There’s many meal ideas to use your leftovers and to not waste an ounce of food. I absolutely love this book and I know it will be used over and over. As grocery prices keeps going up, do yourself a favour and get this book. It will repay itself 10x over in a matter of weeks.

This cookbook is the best investment yet on Amazon! I have bought all the groceries suggested in the book. During this covid time and money is tight with Christmas coming finding myself cutting back.Prices are rapidly changing, or products are not available in grocery stores. I need meals that last and healthy. Easy budget meals too! This book is wonderful and great tasting . Easy to follow directions . I didn’t buy grocery list all at once it takes a while. But I have it now. Make as you need . Enjoy practical home baking and easy budget meals. Like the old days ..nothing exotic. I really enjoy this book. Just enough to get through tough times.

I am obsessed with this cookbook. I collect cookbooks.
All of the “recipes” are a adaptable to what you have on hand, or what your family will actually eat.
Nothing is experimental in here. Which means less chance of your food ending up in the garbage.

This one is actually one that I can afford to cook from. Fresh food from scratch, using food you can actually afford. I will cook everything in this book, and it will make me a better cook.

Bought this book for two of my four children who are complaining about the rise in grocery prices. Excellent ideas and well written with a little humor thrown in. Also bought one for my grand-daughter who is off to college next fall. Perfect for someone on a strict budget. Thank you...
