5.0 out of 5 stars How a Mother of Six Has Been Helped, February 11, 2002

By 

Susan Montgomery (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Save Money Every Day (Paperback)

In March of 2001, I "just happened" to be listening to a radio station to which I normally do not tune and heard Ellie Kay being interviewed about how she saves money on groceries. My ears perked up, because up to that time, I had been struggling to stay within my food budget. I am the mother of six children (ages ranging from 2-20). After hearing Ellie on the radio, I purchased How To Save Money Everyday (along with Ellie's first book, Shop, Save, and Share). Her books have been very instrumental in helping me save money on my grocery bill. Since I have been using Ellie's suggested methods of saving, I have also had enough to occasionally share with two single moms, as well as sending a variety of items to a children's home. I am very thankful for being led to hear about Ellie Kay's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just a book on saving, October 23, 2002

By 

Barbara (Penn State) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Save Money Every Day (Paperback)

I've read scores of books on saving money and this is the first one that reads like a "chicken soup" book combined with a Tightwad Gazette. If you just want straight facts, then this book is not for you--this author actually uses some great writing skills to make the "medicine" of saving money go down a little smoother. She is also very open and honest with her life, I've started buying all of Ellie's books as gifts because she's a rarity. This is a superwoman who brings supersavings to a level for super average people.
