{ "item_title" : "Eat Well, Spend Less", "item_author" : [" Cn Adams "], "item_description" : "The average American household spends $10,169 a year on food. Nobody ever hands you that receipt.You've seen the small totals. $47 at the taco place. $19 for lunch on a Wednesday. $63 when the delivery app stacked its fees on top of its fees. Every one of them felt survivable - and that's exactly why the number got so big without anybody stopping it.This book hands you the receipt, then shows you how to cut it in half.Eat Well, Spend Less is a complete, practical system for lowering your grocery bill and escaping the restaurant trap - without dieting, without couponing, and without eating food you don't enjoy. It is a money book that happens to be about food.What you'll learnExactly what you're spending - a 30-day food audit that takes twenty minutes and produces one number most people find genuinely startlingThe real math of saving - what changes in your life at a 20%, 50%, and 80% reduction, with honest arithmetic about which is actually possible for your householdWhere to buy cheap groceries - a seven-tier value retail map covering discount grocers, warehouse clubs, salvage stores, restaurant supply, farmers markets, and the international markets that quietly beat everyone on rice, beans, spices, and meatHow to buy meat without getting taken - cost per pound of edible meat, whole-chicken and pork shoulder strategy, manager's-special markdowns, and buying a quarter beefThe price book method - twenty minutes of work that typically trims 10-15% off a grocery bill with no change to what you eatFood preservation and home canning - freezing, dehydrating, fermenting, root cellaring, and a full water bath and pressure canning chapter built on USDA-tested processesMeal prep that survives a real week - a component system, a four-week rotating template, and an emergency meal tier for the nights the plan falls apart50 budget recipes - every single one with a cost per serving printed on the page and a shelf life beside itReal food. Real savings.The sample week inside this book feeds a family of four pot roast, chicken pot pie, carnitas, pulled pork, and chicken and dumplings for about $627 a month - roughly 37% below the USDA's lowest-cost food plan, and well under what the average American household already spends.The 50 recipes average about $1.40 per serving. Skillet chicken and rice, $1.42. Red beans and rice, $0.94. Homemade sandwich bread, nine cents a slice. Ten recipes come in under a dollar a serving.This is not a diet bookThere are no calorie targets here, no macros, and no chapter suggesting you'd be a better person with more discipline. You will eat as much as you want. You'll simply pay a fraction of what you're paying now - because the cheapest foods in an American grocery store (beans, rice, potatoes, whole chickens, pork shoulder, frozen vegetables, eggs) are not junk food. They're the foods that have fed working households for centuries.Who this is forFamilies trying to feed everyone on one income. Anyone watching grocery prices climb faster than their paycheck. New cooks who want a system instead of a stack of recipes. Meal preppers, batch cookers, home canners, preppers building a pantry, students, retirees on fixed incomes, and anyone who has looked at a bank statement and wondered where the money actually went.Cut your food budget in half and you free up roughly $5,000 a year. That's an $8,000 credit card paid off in 24 months. A fully funded emergency fund in twelve. Or, invested over twenty years, more than $220,000.Not from a raise. Not from a side hustle. From cooking rice.Scroll up and click Buy Now to get your copy of Eat Well, Spend Less today.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/819/230/9798192306437_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "19.99", "online_price" : "19.99", "our_price" : "19.99", "club_price" : "19.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
