Editorial Reviews

Review

"Angie Klaproth's book is a useful compilation of information on how to make couponing a "part-time job with full-time pay"..." -- Barbara Parks/Robson Communities Newspapers

"Angie says her approach is easy, and Maureen Z. agrees. Using Angie's tips, Maureen cut her family's grocery bill in half." -- Julie Turner / SmartSavers Newsletter

"This past Saturday after reading your book, I went shopping and saved $55.00 in couponing...I am so excited." -- S.M. Mesa, Arizona (reader)

From the Author

I wrote "The Great Grocery Giveaway" with the hopes that beginners and advanced couponers alike would benefit not only from the instructions therein but also from the personal experiences, shopping, organizing, and time saving tips shared with me by seminar attendees, letters, and phone calls. After it came to my attention that a reader was unhappy with the purchase of my book, (see review), I tried several times to make contact and offer a refund of the purchase price. My last attempt was to mail a refund which was returned to me "refused". While even the most advanced couponers and refunders enjoy sharing and learning new tips, I regret that my book was not more helpful to her. In further response to her misunderstanding of working mothers versus stay at home mothers - I do encourage women who desire AND have the opportunity to so - to look at the total cost of working, versus cutting costs with a variety of means including couponing to assist the family in living on one income. In each unique situation, nearly all shoppers can save 30% on their grocery bill with just a few basic shopping organization and planning skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative Couponing As a Second Job, September 23, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Great Grocery Giveaway: A Step by Step Guide to Creative Couponing (Paperback)
What a great purchase! This book is definely worth the money I paid for it. After receiving my book two days ago, I sat down to read what I expected would be a wordy run around description of what I already knew about couponing. Boy, was I wrong. Klaproth taught me to take not only what I knew about couponing, but also about grocery shopping in general to take my grocery shopping to a level of maximum savings. With a limited amount of coupons, and a half hearted attempt at a weekly food menu, I purchased about $170 worth of groceries (my usual weekly expenditure) and only paid $100 for them. I saved $70 without really trying! I can't wait until next week to see how much I save. I am totally convinced there is definitely a method to coupon madness and Angie Klaproth has the answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars My husband loves the savings!, October 12, 2005
This review is from: The Great Grocery Giveaway: A Step by Step Guide to Creative Couponing (Paperback)
I'll never shop the same again!!! After reading The Great Grocery Giveaway I was amazed with all the info that taught me how to save over a hundred dollars on my grocery bill. My husband loved the savings as much as I did. When I told him how much money I saved he didn't believe me until I showed him my receipt! Not only did I save 50% of my grocery bill as promised in Klaproth's book but I came home with more groceries than ever. The tips on what mistakes to avoid are invaluable. I recommend this book to all my friends!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Is An Investment Purchase, August 5, 2007
This review is from: The Great Grocery Giveaway: A Step by Step Guide to Creative Couponing (Paperback)
I received this book as a gift. I love all things frugal and wondered to myself if I would really be able to glean any new information from this book. The answer was "yes"! As the title says, A Step by Step Guide to Creative Couponing, it is just that. Mrs. Klaproth walks you through couponing, step by step.


I read and reread it from cover to cover. I think it is loaded with very good information for those that want to hold on to more of their grocery dollars. I started saving immediately on our grocery bill. Mind you, I already was saving by being frugal. I've heard too many times that coupons really don't save you anything. Well, used the way this book teaches, they sure do. My family is proof of that.
