Home Home and Auto Book, Product, and Service Reviews Books Miserly Moms

I had always loathed the thought of running from grocery store to grocery store just to save $2 or $3. So I never did it...until now. After reading Miserly Moms and seeing what a difference one extra hour can make, I am a firm believer.

After reading just a few chapters of this inspiring book I was motivated to make a significant change in our lives...starting NOW. Since I had already tossed those up-until-recently-annoying sale papers into the trash, I called my neighbor to borrow hers. Determined, I sat down to make out my grocery list. An amazing thing happened that day. Though I will admit that it took me twice as long as it usually does to do my grocery shopping, I saved somewhere in the neighborhood of $60 that week!

Well after that I was sold and went on to read the rest of Jonni's wonderful book. Inside this invaluable resource you will not only find grocery store savings but tips on how to cut your utility bills, recipes for all meals of the day, ideas on how to shop for clothes and much more. Jonni also takes us into the deceiving world of warehouse food clubs. She will teach you how and what to watch for when shopping at these stores.

There are "Eleven Miserly Guidelines" that Jonni suggests you follow to help ease up on expenses in your home. Along with these you will find tips on cutting medical expenses, how to make crafts for the kids for very little money and formulas for making your own cleaning solutions and baby wipes! Chocked full of helpful phone numbers, product manufacturers and menu plans this book is invaluable.

Not much has been left to chance here. Whether you are looking for a way to cut down on your grocery bill or need to skim 40% off your living expenses, Miserly Moms can help you on your way. A definite must have for all.
