The portion for the tacos and flan was ridiculous. Two of those little
pork things per person is nothing. They were like 2 bites and the flan
slice would be microscopic.

As far as the prices, I live in downtown Chicago so it is hard to know
what is reasonable sometimes given everything is pricey. I definitely
think the math seems fuzzy and her price on chicken seems to jump
around. The most ridiculous tip to me so far has been the using dry
pasta instead of fresh. And I think she can do better than $1.25 a
box. I can get a box of Barilla for $1 or less on sale most of the
time. And that being said is she ever going to mention coupons or
things being on sale? Isn't that key to money-saving.

On a random note, there is a list of her money saving tips on the food
network website. One of them is:

Eggs: Hard-boiled and peeled go on sale for same price as raw eggs on
Tuesdays.

Am I crazy or is that just the most random thing ever and is it based
on any fact? I've never heard of this. The full list of tips is here
if you want to see them, http://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/san...ips/index.html
but most of them she has already regurgitated on the show and I always
have to restart my web browser after visiting the unbelievably flawed
foodnetwork.com.
