- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved Kelly's approach, especially how she shares with the needy. May you be blessed with more ?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Far too often grocery shopping ends up with full bags and an empty wallet. But fear not, Kelly Hancock gives the weary shopper lots of practical advice on how to save some serious money in her book Saving Savvy.Mainly focusing on the monetary miracles you can achieve through using coupons, you will be guided through the importance of organizing and planning not only your shopping trip, but even more so your storage space and freezer, and even your meals. No matter whether you just want to waste less, have more to share with others, or pay your debts, this book gives you the basic knowledge to save big. And to get the best individual results you simply choose the strategies that work best for you. I'd say that everyone can learn a thing or two about saving in this book, but you should be aware that it is mostly intended to reach US readers as many other countries unfortunately have not jumped on the coupon bandwagon yet. What came as a bit of a surprise was the religious aspect of the book. If you feel uncomfortable about it, you might want to skip those parts and focus on the saving advice alone. What you should definitely not skip is a visit to Kelly's website faithfulprovisions.com for some up-to-the-minute deals and helpful resources.In short: A comprehensible Coupon 101 that will teach amateur shoppers quite a bit, but will not hold too many surprises for the seasoned pro!

This book is a step by step way of getting the best bang for your bucks! Kelly Hancock talks about it all from planning meals, stocking your freezer and cabinets and coupons! She has a website that is heavily promoted through the book, but this is a great Christian resource to use our money wisely. There are a lot of links included to steer you toward some great websites and even smartphone apps to help on the go shopping made easier. She even shares how to share your surplus of time, talents and money in the book.This book will be especially helpful if you have no idea where to begin in your couponing adventure...it's sort of like a Couponing for Dummies book. However, even if you are an old pro, there are many new ideas to use in everyday savings!I really enjoyed this book...only 250 pages of jampacked ideas for a family struggling in thiseconomy. It was a very quick read for me, and is set up so one could easily navigate to the parts of the book that would help the most. I would recommend reading it straight through with a highlighter first and then go back with a computer to really put the book to good use! Very Good Book!!This book gets a family 5 thumbs up!Fine print... I was given a copy of this book through NetGalley for review. No other compensation was given and the opinions are mine alone!
