5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Couponing Method I've Found, November 8, 2005

By	Teresa Stowell (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

WOW!!! Stephanie has really done a great job putting this method to paper. I had tried clipping coupons in the past, but found more had expired before I realized. Plus the cutting and organizing took more time than the actual shopping. BUT NOW..... I have to look no further than this book for another method. I have actually been able to create shopping lists and clip coupons in about 15-20 min. When I checked out, I was able to save anywhere from 40-60% on my bill! It was fun and exciting seeing the savings! It actually makes shopping fun to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such sane and easy words., November 26, 2005

By	Detra Fitch (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I began the book last week. In it, I found such sane, easy, and simple ideas that I am amazed her strategy did not occur to me. Duh! "Use coupons while the item is on sale." It more than DOUBLES your savings at the check out, if not makes the item(s) free! Double-DUH! So simple!

This is but one peace of sane advice from the coupon mom. It was like reading a mystery, learning who did it and why, and wanting to hit myself in the forehead. All the facts were there. Only the "coupon mom" figured it out and published it so that others, such as myself, could learn.

This book will probably pay for itself in one, single trip to the grocery store. NO KIDDING! Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book I have read on saving money, October 26, 2005

By	a concerned parent "cmives" - See all my reviews

This book is great! I learned a lot more than I already knew about saving money, and believe me, I am a "bargain shopper", so that was surprising to me.
I also love that it is encouraging people to donate to their local food pantry instead of HOARDING all their great deals for themselves. There are so many couponing systems out there that don't encourage people to "share the wealth" but rather to stock up and hoard way more than their family could ever use.

Additionally, Ms. Nelson's website is very helpful and FREE. I love that she does not charge people to use her information. Some other sites charge money, which I find really ironic. She truly does all of her work for the sole reason of helping people, not to make money off of the people who are trying to save money.

You can tell that Ms. Nelson really has a passion for helping people save money, help others and take care of their families.

If I could give this book more stars, I would. I am glad she wrote a book and I hope she writes more. Her way of saving money has really changed my life. I know it can change yours!
