Instant Bargains, 600+ Ways to Shrink Your Grocery Bill and Eat Well for Less, by Kimberly Danger, is a great book on food and menu planning. (I read most of the book at the library and I wish that I had checked it out. Someone else has it now.) The book lists many culinary web sites and offers suggestions for people who don't do very much home cooking and want to start. There is information on food programs at the end of the book. I am going to post this in the forum on saving money as well.

Thanks for a great tip, I'll look for this book at the library as well!

sounds interesting- I got on the waitlist at my library - I'm 2nd and it's just now in transit for the person a head of me - since we have about a week for pickup and a 3 week checkout it may be over a month before my turn comes up but I have plenty to read in the meantime!
