Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a unique cookbook with great ideas. The premise of the book is "to provide delicious meals where all of the ingredients were purchased from the $1 store." You are probably not going to impress your friends at a gourmet dinner party with these recipes but they are great for when you need to fix something for dinner in a hurry AND on a budget!! In today's economy who doesn't need help with the grocery budget?

There is everything from simple dipping sauces and Empanadas to more elegant dishes like Baked Alaska. The cookbook is divided into categories of Appetizers, Burgers/Sandwiches, Main Courses, Desserts. This not just a collection of recipes. It has stories, tips for each chapter and a page or two to write your own notes!

The drawbacks are: I'm not sure the average person will be able to find these items in their everyday grocery store for $1. The ingredients, especially the seafood, aren't always on sale and can't be found at every dollar store. If you take this cookbook for what it is "menu with items costing $1 or less" then I think you will be pleased with the end results.
