This book was a good, quick read, that was chock full of useful tidbits of how to better manage the debt that you might be in, and the family household budget. It advised is not to get too caught up in the "brand name game" since most products/foods are made by a handful of companies and the only real difference is the label and the price. It gave great advice on getting out of credit card debt, basic everyday shopping and planning for your future.

I found this book very helpful as a general basic reminder of everyday things that I can do to better manage my household budget. Even if I utilize only 20 to 30 of the tips and really implement them into my everyday life, it would make a big difference for me, and for you. I highly recommend this book for everyone!

Didn’t feel like this was what was being described from description.

Save money by not buying this book. It would be benificial if this was what it said.

Easy Listening

This book was easy listening and to the point. I am excited to at least get started. I really loved the ideas, especially about saving money on food. I will share this with my young adult children😇.

Annoying to listen too

It’s very repetitive and monotone. Doesn’t go into depth with anything. Gives 30 tips on saving a dollar on eating food which go old quick and stopped listening at that point

So please answer how do you save money :(

Best bit of advice in the book that we all know, but need to stick to is ‘live below your means’. This book is excellent for people who have just left home and want some tips on their grocery bill or how to get the most boring, uptight dinner outing. If you can’t afford to purchase what is on a menu, then don’t go out…simple! I was disappointed with this book, as I was hoping on some real advise, helpful tips like instead of buying expensive cleaners, use 2 tablespoons of vinegar diluted in 500mls of water as a glass cleaner etc., but sadly no, this book was filled with collect coupons, use coupons, ask for coupons, blah, blah, blah. I know the author said she wanted to help with her readers getting out of debt, but I believe I would have helped myself better by saving my $5. Was there 101 tips? No!
