I’ve been given the opportunity to read and review Candy Foote’s Strategic Shopping. As a mom to three boys and a homeschooling mom on a tight budget, I’m always looking for ways to save on my spending. This book was a fantastic help!
In addition to divulging helpful tips that Candy has garnered while raising her twelve children, she also has compiled a monthly list of items that you can generally find on sale at your local stores. Also listed in her book are a wealth of websites where you can find coupons, discounts, and other savings tips.
Your favorite stores’ coupon policies are explored and described and linked to so that you can be well versed before you shop with your coupons.
Love using your smartphone or want to use it to save or even make money? Candy has listed apps that you can use to help you on your quest to better budgeting (and money making!).
Candy also gives advice for strategic “giving”. For example, perhaps you have a great coupon for a product that you don’t use. Her advice is to use that coupon (or coupons) to give to others.
I often have had trouble getting produce on sale. Candy gives some excellent tips on how to get coupons and nice discounts even on produce!
Candy gives suggestions on creating and organizing a binder for your coupons and advice on convenient storage.
I highly recommend her book for college students, newly married couples, or even those like me who want to save money!
