Greatest Secrets of the Coupon Mom

Stephanie's book teaches one not only how to save money themselves but then how to donate to their local food banks as well. Her philosophy impressed me because my family has been the recipient of the food stamp program in the past and I know the importance of filling our local food pantries. She has a great strategy for savings and a website that is free!

I have tried many times in the past to use coupons, but was never able to stay "organized" enough to see a real difference. With Coupon mom's book and website, organizing my coupons, and knowing when to use them takes no effort at all, even my 6 year old participates! We are saving 50-60% consistently now! Thanks Coupon Mom!

I began the book last week. In it, I found such sane, easy, and simple ideas that I am amazed her strategy did not occur to me. Duh! "Use coupons while the item is on sale." It more than DOUBLES your savings at the check out, if not makes the item(s) free! Double-DUH! So simple! This is but one peace of sane advice from the coupon mom. It was like reading a mystery, learning who did it and why, and wanting to hit myself in the forehead. All the facts were there. Only the "coupon mom" figured it out and published it so that others, such as myself, could learn. This book will probably pay for itself in one, single trip to the grocery store. NO KIDDING! Highly recommended! Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

WOW!!! Stephanie has really done a great job putting this method to paper. I had tried clipping coupons in the past, but found more had expired before I realized. Plus the cutting and organizing took more time than the actual shopping. BUT NOW..... I have to look no further than this book for another method. I have actually been able to create shopping lists and clip coupons in about 15-20 min. When I checked out, I was able to save anywhere from 40-60% on my bill! It was fun and exciting seeing the savings! It actually makes shopping fun to do.

This book is great! I learned a lot more than I already knew about saving money, and believe me, I am a "bargain shopper", so that was surprising to me. I also love that it is encouraging people to donate to their local food pantry instead of HOARDING all their great deals for themselves. There are so many couponing systems out there that don't encourage people to "share the wealth" but rather to stock up and hoard way more than their family could ever use. Additionally, Ms. Nelson's website is very helpful and FREE. I love that she does not charge people to use her information. Some other sites charge money, which I find really ironic. She truly does all of her work for the sole reason of helping people, not to make money off of the people who are trying to save money. You can tell that Ms. Nelson really has a passion for helping people save money, help others and take care of their families. If I could give this book more stars, I would. I am glad she wrote a book and I hope she writes more. Her way of saving money has really changed my life. I know it can change yours!
