An Actual Report of a Book – Greatest Secrets of the Coupon Mom

Greatest Secrets of the Coupon Mom By: Stephanie Nelson
Non-Fiction, advice, shopping 164 pages 6th grade reading level
Copyright 2005

First this book does give a lot of advice on how to save more money on grocery shopping. It also gives a lot of information on how the cheaply give to your local food bank/pantry and what type of things that they really need. Also as the book is only a couple years old its information is mostly up to date. The only thing wrong with the book is that the web site that the author runs has changed. It wasn’t a big change it’s still free and full of information on what coupons are out there and where to get them, but the one thing it changed was the one thing we really liked about it. In the book it gives examples of their coupon information that includes the coupon, where to get it, the current price of the item in your area stores, and what price you would end up paying. Now the site just has the coupon info and not the store info. Plus, for Michigan we could not get any information to pop up. So, if you need some help with your budget, this book can help, but the web site isn’t that great.
