Just wanted to comment and say that I myself when looking at nutrition reading material definitely look for titles that describe the book as pertaining to a "real food" or a "whole food" diet. The word "healthy" in a title kind of seems like it doesn't tell enough about the book because to a lot of people "healthy" is defined as a low-fat vegetarian or vegan diet. But then again, this book might be more geared towards those who aren't already eating a "real food" diet, so they won't be looking for that specifically. Hope this helps somewhat, just my two cents! Thanks for all you do Stephanie!

I voted for...
Real Food, Real Budget: How to Eat Healthy for Less

But I think it could be tweaked a bit, perhaps...
Real Food, Real Economics: You Can Eat Healthy for Less

I don't love "How To"s either, and using the word budget seems a little bit common.

Just a thought (I can see how this would be difficult!)

Real Food, Real Budget: Eating Whole Foods For Less or the same with instead a subtitle "eating whole foods for a whole lot less" (although the second option is fairly long...

None of these sound like the final winner to me, but I might like: You Can Afford to Eat Right: The Guide to Serving Wholesome Food on a Budget or something more in that zone. I'm not very fond of "how To's" in a title, and I also am more drawn to the world "wholesome" over any of those other 'healthy' words :)

I tried to vote but couldn't so I'll throw in that I like the 4th title best, and the 2nd one second best. :)

I vote for Real Food Real Budget. The poll said I'd already voted as well.

I may not be the "norm" but I'm a little burned out hearing "budget" when it comes to this sort of book (it seems like there are lots of books like that). Of course, although the budget part is still very important, what I really enjoy about reading YOUR blog and advice is how you do it all! You are able to manage your children, education, budgeting, planning, prepping, cooking, and storing... I have no idea how you really do that...and would probably actually be interested in buying the book if it played up the practical and homemade with the simple, nourishing, and tasty foods you make. I like the "made from scratch" part the best. How about "Scratch Meals Made Easy." :-)

@Fruitful Harvest, That's ok, new names are still welcome! It's good, I like it! And yes, it's sooo hard to choose a name that really conveys the idea of the book and that I truly like. I want it to be good, and I'm still not totally inspired. But we'll come up with something!
