Coupon Mom Book Review & GIVEAWAY!
I am THRILLED that EasternShoreMom.com was offered to feature this giveaway. This is very special to me because CouponMom.com was the first coupon website that I found and it is where I started. There were not many “deal blogs” at that time and CouponMom.com was the only site I found that was FREE of charge to see the site. That’s right, you had to pay to view most of the coupon sites! When I started ESM- I was so glad I could offer my site as free just like the site that I started with first, couponmom.com.
So here is the lowdown on CouponMom’s new book:
A practical book that shares strategic advice for saving big and living well
THE COUPON MOM’S GUIDE TO CUTTING YOUR GROCERY BILLS IN HALF
The Strategic Shopping Method Proven to Slash Food and Drugstore Bills
By Stephanie Nelson
Founder of CouponMom.com, now with over 2 million members
“Nothing makes me more excited than showing others how to get a jar of pasta sauce for free by combining sales and coupons,” says Stephanie Nelson, founder of www.CouponMom.com, the largest grocery savings website of its kind helping consumers save money. Broadening her proven advice that has drawn millions to her website, Nelson now presents THE COUPON MOM’S GUIDE TO CUTTING YOUR GROCERY BILLS IN HALF: The Strategic Shopping Method Proven to Slash Food and Drugstore Costs (Avery: January; 2010, $15.00). This invaluable shopping companion that will save readers hundreds, and possibly thousands of dollars a year without compromising taste, variety, or quality. As Nelson promises, you’ll be “simply astounded at how much money you are saving.”
Nelson never meant to be a Coupon Mom. She developed her strategic shopping method several years ago when she and her husband decided that she would leave the corporate world to take care of their two small children. It was then that she realized her family budget needed some serious cutting! Nelson had to find a way to slash costs and determined that decreasing what she spent on groceries would have a significant impact on their overall budget. She was right!
In 2008, companies distributed 315 billion grocery coupons worth $400 billion dollars across the country, but less than 1% of these coupons were redeemed. To Nelson, that’s throwing free money down the drain! But her Strategic Shopping goes beyond simply clipping coupons. Here, she shares all the tricks of her trade. Beginning with a self-assessment quiz, readers will discover whether they are a Varsity shopper, Busy shopper, or Rookie shopper. Then, the book offers a tailor-made plan for every lifestyle. Readers will learn:
- How to get the best deals at wholesale clubs, mass merchandisers, discounts stores, and drug stores
- How to combine store sales, coupons, and promotions to get the deepest discounts and even FREE products
- Easy ways to track prices and the foolproof rules on when to buy, and when to hold a coupon
- Why buying in bulk isn’t always more cost-effective
- How to buy organic without breaking the budget, and much, much more!
At the heart of THE COUPON MOM’S GUIDE TO CUTTING YOUR GROCERY BILLS IN HALF is Stephanie Nelson’s philosophy that cost saving doesn’t mean sacrificing a healthy diet or the foods your family likes. With the meal-planning strategies and simple recipes in this book, cooking quick, delicious, and nourishing meals has never been simpler.
In addition to helping families save money, Nelson’s passion is to encourage people to use her money-saving strategies to contribute donations to food shelters across the country. She began a program called CUT OUT HUNGER to give her readers practical, effective ways to give back to their communities. Visit www.CouponMom.com and try some of the tips from THE COUPON MOM’S GUIDE TO CUTTING YOUR GROCERY BILLS IN HALF—chances are you’ll soon be a part of the Coupon Mom movement!
