About this title

From the Author

When you're shopping to save--shop with a mind to share.
After having five babies in seven years and moving eight times in ten years with a military spouse, I realized that I needed to look at life in a funny way--or end up on the funny farm. This is the approach I've used to present my unique method of shopping for everything from canned corn to cars. The first section of the book presents a simple, streamlined method of shopping for groceries. Section two is a reference guide to saving on just about everything. The final section is chock full of tips on how to simplify your life, set up a household budget and share with organizations who love your donations. On my local television show in upstate NY, I'm known as the "Coupon Queen." The deciding characteristic that separates me from other coupon queens is my approach to sharing a bounty of groceries and household supplies with those in need. With my approach to grocery shopping, you'll find yourself paying 30% to 85% less every month. You'll also discover you have so many groceries that you won't have room to store everything. That's when you'll want to share your groceries with the local food pantry, homeless shelter or soup kitchen. Last year, I saved our family of seven over $8,000 on groceries and I was able to give away $1,000 worth of products to people in need. Finally, I'd like to add that this is not a dull, dry book---far from it. Life with five young children and a fighter pilot husband has been anything but dull. Each chapter opens with an anectdote that will have you chuckling your way to savings. The laughs are thrown in for free!
