Great new information
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I am a moderate coupon user, and the book did have new ideas for using coupons that I didn't realize. I like the idea of emailing companies to get free coupons, and the list of companies and the websites that will send coupons is really helpful. I also like the detailed chapters on other ways to save besides using coupons--like what the best deals really are at warehouse clubs and even how to save on organic food. The book was also really easy to read. Well worth the money in my opinion!
Use this book, again and again

I am not a big coupon user and my fiance and I don't have a lot of time to spend cutting coupons. We like the book's approach for all types of shoppers--We're both "busy" shoppers and didn't realize all the store savings programs you can use without having to plan. I also like the healthy meal planning ideas and the list of "cheap superfoods" to make healthy meals without needing coupons. This book is like a reference book that we'll go back to again and again. I'd recommend it, and I'd give it to friends as a gift.

My wife received this book as a gift and is enjoying reading it and finding new areas to help with our budget. All of the personal stories, as well as great recipe ideas, and other ways to stretch your money including various strategies on how to shop the different types of stores are all quite informative. Her mother has also been looking at all the information available. This book will help you find ways to trim your budget regardless of your family size, income level, or expertise in strategic shopping. Our family will be passing along this savings to help out with charities. We have many people who can benefit from any type of savings and know that the book price will more than pay for itself in one well planned shopping trip.

I have been couponing for years and I am very impressed with this book. I love that there are nutritious, low-cost recipes included among the many savings tips. This is such timely information, especially in this economy when so many people are struggling to make ends meet. For anyone looking for a way to save money, the information Stephanie Nelson provides is invaluable!
More great money saving tips!

I am a seasoned couponer and have found this book to be a great resource, especially for organic and natural food shopping. A chapter is devoted to organic and natural foods and there are several lists of organic companies to contact for coupons. These types of coupons are hard to find and it is great to have a convenient list of them. The recipe section is a unique addition to a couponing book. It is not a large part of the book but the recipes look great and each recipe gives the cost per batch or serving. Seeing that breakdown really puts the cost of feeding your family vs eating out into perspective. This book is well worth it's small cost. You will save more than it's cost on you next shopping trip.
