I purchased this book for the coupons advertised - if that's your motivation, save your money and buy a Sunday paper. There are very few coupons and they are not even "good" coupons. They are low value and/or multiple purchase coupons. Most of the $500 savings is found in 10% off online purchase coupon codes that are available to anyone. Another benefit to buying the book was supposed to be a donation to the Susan G Komen Foundation. If you read the foreward of the book, it says that the publisher will donate $65,000 to the cause, but mentions nothing about a donation specifically related to the sale of the book. You can preview the companies offering coupons in the index of the book, so check it out before you buy! It's sad to have such a worthy cause associated with such a terrible product!

The bottom line - I returned it!

The book doesn't come close to what is represented on the cover. $500 in savings? 100's of coupons? Where? I haven't counted, but I doubt there's even a hundred coupons. There's maybe 80 different products listed. The total savings in coupons is less then $100. I'm guessing they pulled the $500 figure by adding in the online coupon codes they give. The cover mentions nothing about online codes, you can get these free on any coupon code site. I'm trying to tell myself that it wasn't a complete waste of money b/c it does help a good cause.

I am a die-hard coupon user and decided to purchase this book because of the Everyday title--I use the Everyday cooking books all the time. I don't normally buy coupon books but I was swayed when I saw the type of coupons offered here. They have all the brands that I use that I don't normally find coupons for in the paper or supermarket circular. I've done the calculations and I've already saved more than I paid for the book. I'm very happy with it and I reccomend it to anyone looking to save money that doesn't want to stray from their favorite brands.

I received my coupon book in the mail today and after looking through the coupons, I will easily make up the money that I spent to buy it! From coupons for diapers to coffee to Advil, there are coupons for everyone! And, the recipes are very helpful. I am always up for new dinner ideas!

I'm a hardcore coupon fanatic and this book was NOT worth the money at all! I can't say I even used one coupon from this book! $500 in savings? I don't think so! More like a loss here. A lot of them were for products I have never even heard of and have no idea where to find.

I basically bought this book because I just wanted the money to go for a good cause but it turned out to be an amazing deal.

I got these for stocking stuffer Xmas gifts for my sisters and sister-in-law (and myself). It's for a good cause -- fighting breast cancer. It's got a ton of coupons for stuff I use all the time, and they will use the recipes and tips.

This coupon book is a wonderful thing; for you -- with all the coupons and discounts and health info as well as for the Breast Cancer research foundation. It's totally worth it and you can still get them in time for Christmas.

Most of the coupons in this book won't expire until September 2010, some even last until December 2010. There are a few that expire in Dec 2009 - very few! This is a very colorful book filled with recipes, lifestyle advice, unique coupons and special online offers. Some of the special offers are purely for fun and others will save you a ton of money (This book could potentially save you up to $500.). Like take for instance the offer for personalized stationary, it might be fun to make up some stationary for your friends and give them as gifts.

Maybe you are interested in weight loss and need some new DVDs (Leslie Sansone and Denise Austin), there are coupons for online offers. What I liked the most about this book was the hard-to-find coupons like the ones for Aura Cacia essential oils. There are four coupons for $1 off each purchase.

Some of the recipes in this book include: Apple Butter Banana Bread, Spring Carrot Soup, Pineapple-Pear Crisp, Brandied Cherry Chocolate Bread Pudding, Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry, Parmesan Garlic Vegetables, Pumpkin Spice Cookies, Pistachio Tiramisu and Shrimp Pinwheels.

There is a special section about anti-aging and what to eat if you want to look younger. I also liked the section on relaxation that gives tips on how to be less stressed. Other sections include tips on insomnia, boosting your energy and finding the right pair of workout shoes.

Here is a list of the products that have clippable coupons in this book: Advil, Fleischmann's yeast, Karo Syrup, Durkee spices, Spice Island Vanilla, Arm & Hammer Detergents, Blue Ribbon Rice, Bird's Eye Veggies, Blistex products, Bertolli Olive Oil, Caribou Coffee, Centrum vitamins, Colgate toothbrushes, Dancing Deer Baking Company, Dentyne gum, Eggland eggs, Frontier spices, Goya Seasonings, Hall's Candies, Kettle Potato Chips, La Croix drinks, Lady Speed Stick, Pamper's Diapers, Bath tissue, Reynold's Parchment Paper, Seventh Generation Cleaners, Simply Organic Seasoning Packets, Special K cereal, South Beach protein bars, Tyson chicken strips and Wonderful Pistachios.

The end of the book is filled with online offers like saving 30% on Ipod Workouts or 50% off guided tours of Rome, Paris, New York, etc. There is a coupon for Jillian Michaels workouts online and lots of offers for free magazine subscriptions (a year free from heart-healthy living). If you are pregnant you will want to know about a website that gives you updates on what to expect throughout your entire pregnancy. There are a few featured kid's websites that might interest you if you are a parent looking for educational games.

So is this book worth the price? I think it could be if you do a lot of shopping. If you are just a casual coupon clipper then this book might be a little overwhelming. I've already clipped various coupons and think it will be worth the money. However I think the main idea is to raise money for cancer research. The coupons are just the bonus.

This coupon book seems to be severely lacking in coupons. You could get more coupons in 1 issue of All You magazine. Do not buy!

Do not buy this book! There is only a few coupons in this book and they are expired. It is worthless!!!

All coupons are now expired! Does contain some recipes, but definitely not worth the money! Was not a happy camper to find this book only cost me MORE money, instead of saving it!
