The Complete Idiots Guide to Couponing!

Hey Neighbors!


Here is a great book, that I am sure many of you will be interested in. I personally am so excited over this book!  In our family my daughter (27) does most of the couponing for our family of eight.  We seriously could use some help and hints and what do you know, The Complete Idiots Guide to Couponing ($16.95) has just what we need.  Especially with today's economy this would be a great addition to anyone's library.

Presently we use coupons when they are convenient, or they are on a product we really like, but after reading this book, I realize there is so much more we could be doing to help lower our grocery bill.  You don't have to be a genius to use this book.  It starts out very simply and leads you right along.  If you already use coupons, and just need some extra tips, just move on to the chapter you are interested in, but I do suggest that you read the whole book.

The author of the book Rachel Singer Gordon writes the popular couponing blog MashupMom.com.  Rachel is the author of nine other books.  She teaches couponing and "saving online" classes in the Chcagoland area, averaging several classes a month.

I am sure we have all read stories of the supermom who comes out of the grocery store with a full shopping cart of groceries for just a few dollars.  Now, I don't ever expect to be that good, but I do believe reading this book will bring about some major changes in my shopping.  The book covers so many different topics, from planning and organizing to saving online.  How to know if a sale price is really a good buy, and then how to add coupons on top of the sale price.

There is a whole chapter on Debunking Couponing Myths.  True or False: Couponing takes too much time?  Or how about "Couponing leads to hoarding".  The author proves these and many other myths to be false.

Another chapter I really enjoy is the Planning Your Shopping Trips, which covers Price Matching.  We have just recently started this ourselves so we don't have to run to every store in town.  Very tiring!  We have two stores that price match as long as it is the same exact product and not a coupon for a product.

One neighbor will receive a copy of The Complete Idiots Guide to Couponing.  (Open to USA and Canada)
