westernstephanie 's review for:

4.0

Really helpful, encouraging book by the two creators of Becentsable.com. The first half or so is about how to start couponing to save money while gradually building a stockpile of items your family uses. It's NOT all about how to stock up on Hamburger Helper, though. Their families do not eat a lot of convenience food and even have some gluten-free eaters.

The last half is about saving money on clothes, restaurants, travel, etc. and includes the recipes they use to make their own cleaning supplies (cleaners, laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent). The tone is not preachy and the authors are up-front about all the mistakes they made while trying to figure this all out.
