  4. Where to find Coupons
  5. Stockpiling
  6. Coupon Strategy
  7. Rebates

About the Author:

Kristin is an avid couponer and owner of the website “Coupon Scribbles” which gives you daily tools to be successful in couponing. She is also featured each week on Dayton’s Fox 45 Morning Show. Kristin is Mom to three and loves to find the best deals. Shopping and saving money on the items the family needs is important to her. (from Amazon)

Quick Summary:

This book was a easy read with lots of information on saving money (my favorite thing to do.) I enjoyed reading the history of coupons (we’ve come so far from Grape Nuts featuring a 1¢ discount in the early 1900s!)  I loved all of the coupon facts (such as, over half the Sunday papers are purchased for the purpose of buying coupons – I know mine is!!) There are great tips on how to spend $50(or less)/wk on groceries for a family of 4!  Unbelievable!  If you want to find out how to do this with your family definitely get your hands on this book! You can purchase Kristin’s book from Amazon.

Kristin Peoples is also generous enough to offer a book to give away to one of our readers! Check it out!

  122. My mother taught me as a little girl and on to motherhood the value of a dollar. I love a good bargain and people say they admire the way I can stretch a dollar! The best lesson I have learned to get the most out of saving on groceries is to shop on “double coupon day” and look for the “buy one, get one free” items to maximize your savings.

  123. I have a home improvement list that keeps growing. I would love to be able to scratch some of those things off of my list.

    Thank you for the entry,

    Nikki
