Annual Cookbooks Best Deal for the Buck

If you have a favorite food magazine, no doubt you have seen their ANNUAL cookbook. It is usually a hard cover cookbook with ALL the recipes they published in the previous year's magazine without all the ads. So, it's up to you to decide what type of recipes you like and level of skill as a cook or time you have to create great dishes!

What makes these cookbooks a great deal is that they were usually available for retail sale around $30, but with a little searching on the web, you can get them for about $10 including shipping! Better yet, find a "lot" of cookbooks to save on shipping. Check eBay and Google shopping to find the best deals!

Some of the cookbook annuals to look for (in no particular order):  Southern Living, Pillsbury, Martha Stewart,  Quick Cooking (From Taste of Home), Taste of Home, Weight Watchers, Better Homes & Gardens, Cooks Illustrated (the hardest to find in the second tier market for a good price), Food & Wine, Eat Up and Slim Down, Cooking Light and a few more! Many go back decades!

Bang for the buck, one of the best collection of recipes you will add to your cookbook library is an annual cookbook.
