I've been wanting to read Wow! You Saved How Much? by Renita Perrone ever since I found out she was writing the book!
I'm excited to be able to do this review and giveaway.
This book is straight forward and realistic on teaching you how you can save hundreds of dollars each month. Savings not only on groceries, but non-food items as well!
As put to me by the author--she's not added much "fluff" to the book.
I printed out the ebook and now have it in a folder. The book includes pages at the end to take notes on.
The book is not only about how to make the most out of using coupons and sales, but also many other ways to save money. There are pages of many little things that you can do to save money. Little changes that mean a lot to your pocketbook.
If you are new to using coupons, I recommend this book! If you are a seasoned coupon user, I still highly recommend this book. It will motivate you to keep going!
I started using coupons, and doing refunds in 1982. That was the year I got married. My mom was highly into coupons and refunds. She set me up with a box of coupons as well as refund forms. She even included proofs of purchase I needed to get started with the refunding. I've been hooked every since.
With today's economy, are you doing all you can to save?

ReplyDelete"Through a great deal of practice and research, I have found practical methods to help save money."
I must begin to reseach more brand/store brand products for sales, coupons, rebates to increase my household's savings. http://wordsmatter.gather.com
My Income is being cut in half this month as my daughter is turning 18. I know how to save and just wanted to tell Renita congrats on the book and may it sell thousands of copies!
ReplyDeleteThank you for helping to promote it too!
Love Norene
When I read the part on the website called "Is This For Real" about a 94% savings on a shopping trip I was inspired and anxious to start learning more.

I am agree with the author that coupons and other deals help us to save money like Toms Shoes coupon codes help me to save 10% on entire my order.....
ReplyDeleteWow! I really need to learn how to do this right! We are trying to manage on a VERY tight budget - but I so need to get this figured out!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was doing good to save $50 on a $300 shopping trip - now I see that I need to do so much more
Hey Marsha! Great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to add this book giveaway to my B-Y-G-B linky list for December.

I learned that Renita is a SAHM

I learned she has been a stay-at-home mom since 2001.
ReplyDeleteI learned that if I'd started early with this my children would say things like “Next time ___ is on sale and you have a coupon, can we get it?” Instead they are grown an I am broke!
ReplyDeleteSomething I learned: She made her husband happy using coupons- she has to be doing something right! (not saying her husband is hard to please, but from experience the hubby is always a skeptic when it comes to couponing!)
