Question Opinions on book about grocery savings

Has anyone read the book "Save thousands grocery shopping and cook great food' that is listed for sale on the budget savings web site. It looks interesting I wonder if it was worth the price.

I fell for the sales pitch and in my opinion it isn't worth the price unless you don't even have a clue where to begin reducung your grocery bill. Everything in the book I had already read and seen on the Internet. If you are really interested, go to your local library first and see if they have a copy, but I don't think it is worth the price.

I haven't read it, but the first thing I thought of is that you can find a ton of info on the internet-probably more than what is in the book-without buying it. I am constantly finding new ideas.

I think a good suggestion is to go to the library and check out a book there. It will have the same information and it won't cost you anything to buy. You can probably find a bunch of different books on coupons and grocery shopping there.

I tried this once. I didn't lose any money, but I didn't get the savings I thought I would. I purchased a book for really cheap on ebay. I wouldn't do it again.

I have to agree with everyone who said you can get the same info for free on the internet. Just google: food savings, frugality, or grocery savings and you will come up with lots of sites.
