I waited awhile for this book, Suddenly Frugal, to arrive at our public library before I could sit down to read and review it. Leah Ingram is the author of several books as well as Suddenlyfrugal, the website. Leah writes this book (copyright 2010) from her personal experience as she adopted a frugal lifestyle later in life to recover from past financial mistakes. Suddenly Frugal starts by helping you look at your daily routines and encouraging you to shift how you shop. There are also chapters on your appliances, rooms for improvement and transportation. One of the unique aspects of the … Read More...
The Coupon Mom’s Guide to Saving Money
I recently read The Coupon Mom’s Guide to Cutting Your Grocery Bills in Half by Stephanie Nelson. As I read an earlier book by her, I was curious to read this latest, published in 2009.

1/2 Price Living
It’s a new month and time for a new frugal book review. A college friend recently emailed me asking for some encouragement as her family transitions to living on one income.

As I mentioned in last month’s review, Ellie Kay is one of my favorite Christian financial writers. She has a wonderful way of sharing what she’s learned and lived while providing encouragement for those … Read More...
The Little Book of Big Savings
Once a month, I am going to share a book review with you. At this point in time, I intend that it will be on the first Wednesday of the month. If I read more than one good book a month (which I often do), I may share more than one review because books are one of the things that help me to joyfully thrive! Whenever I share a book review, I will include the book information on my Amazon sidebar. I’m not suggesting you have to buy the book although if you’d like, Amazon does have some good deals. In the interest of being upfront with everyone, I do get a small percentage from Amazon anytime … Read More...
