This book contains many practical, and some impractical, suggestions for reducing your budget. Several of them are simple, such as eat meals at home, plan your meals before you shop, shop after you eat (not when you're hungry!), and things along those lines. Others are going to vary in their usefulness depending on your particular health situation (for example, she suggests not eating meat more than 2 times a week and instead filling up on bread at each meal...not so great for the insulin resistant or diabetics out there!) or where you live (taking the bus to work, for example, is actually more expensive where we live than driving - and riding a bike is not so feasible either) or how you became parents (sure, there are adoptive parents who induce lactation...but if you're adopting because of major hormonal issues, that's not really viable either, no matter how much cheaper breastfeeding is!)
Still, even if you don't manage to save the "up to $2000" a month that you'd get if you could magically implement every idea, there will be at least one thing in here that you can say, "Yeah, I could do that." and any penny saved is a good thing.
My best suggestion for stretching your budget? Get this book from the library or borrow a friend's copy.
