Seriously, I can't believe that I forgot to post about these series of books. I found them at the library and fell in love with them and was able to receive two from paperbackswap so far. These are awesome and I have gotten so many thrifty hints and recipes from these books.

Thanks, Elizabeth. They sound interesting. I put them on my already-huge wish list! Since signing up at paperbackswap after you posted about it the other day, I have gotten rid of 21 books that I didn't really want. I'm having so much fun!

Yes Aunt Jenny, I think there are five books, some have low-fat cooking, some have household hints, etc. I have only seen the first three and just own the second and third. I really want to see the fourth and fifth!
