Wasted $40 on a 'quick' meal plan that was just fancy ads

I bought this ebook of cheap recipes from some Instagram influencer, but it was literally just links to their sponsor's products and basic stuff like 'make rice.' Anyone else get burned by one of those 'budget friendly' meal plans that are just marketing?

Did you even try one recipe before buying?

@luna_green I don't need to try the recipe to know the cookbook looks solid.

my buddy got a vegan cookbook once cause the pics looked amazing. she made one soup from it and it turned out so bland she almost quit cooking entirely. turns out the author just had really good food styling and lighting for the photos, but zero flavor in the actual recipes. so yeah, you can totally judge a cookbook by its cover sometimes, especially if you've been burned before.
