I love supporting other bloggers. Especially those who've written books!!
(are you listening Fairy Godmother?)
This great cookbook, Family Feasts for $75 a week, written by Mary Ostyn (the Mom blogger behind Owlhaven) is an amazing, useful guide to really great frugal meal planning!
Mary is an authority on big families. She mothers 10 beautiful children and knows how to stretch a penny. This is so much more than a cookbook. It's really a fantastic guidebook that equips you to not only be a smart shopper, but a creative cook.
I loved the copy I was sent (for FREE, I think that's called a disclosure).
You will too! Today, I'm giving away two copies! Just leave a comment with a valid email.
This giveaway ends on Thursday.

I would love and use this book. I need help being more frugal.
I'm so glad she wrote the book to answer the "how does she do it?" question. I only feed four and don't get out of the store for $75/week. I'd love to see how she does it!
Wow, a mother of 10 sure has to know what she's doing! Would love to learn from her! stonefox@pobox.com
Um, this sounds AWESOME! I spend $75 per week and I only have a family of three...only 1 child!! How did she do that with 10?!? Sounds like she is the perfect person to write a book. Thanks Kristen!

I could really use this book. My husband is a pastor, but was laid off last week. It takes months to a year for a pastor to find a new job.
We have always been frugal, but if I could feed my 3 kids and us on $75 a week it would sure help.

I was just drooling over the thought of buying this book last week, but its not in our budget right now.
I totally need advice on frugal grocery shopping. There's no way I should be spending what I do for our little family of 3. And a lot of it goes to waste b/c SOME people don't eat their veggies. Urgh!

Since we don't even have a dollar to stretch right now- it would really help me to win this book for FREE! Pick me!
Oh how nice it would be to have a guidebook to do that. I've worked very hard to do that but man it's tough. We stay in budget but I tend to cook the same meals. With a couple of dairy and a chicken and pea allergy it's a little tough to come up with fun and tasty meals for our whole family.
I just saw this book in Family Circle and ripped the page out so I could look into getting it. FREE would be awesome!! cryssq@yahoo.com
I love cook books and would love this one! :0)
