From the Author:
When you're shopping to save--shop with an eye to share.
After having five babies in seven years and eight military moves in ten years--I learned to look at life in a funny way or end up on a funny farm. This is the approach I use to present my method of saving on everything from canned corn to classic cars.
Section one presents a streamlined method of grocery shopping that will save you 30% to 85% a month on your grocery bill--and have an abundance left over to share with the local food pantry. Section two is a reference manuel to save on just about everything you might want to buy. The final section gives tips on setting up a family budget, simplifying your life and even sharing with organizations who love your donations.
One last comment I'd like to add. This book is not a dull,dry commentary. Each chapter opens with an anectdote of life with a house full of children. You may even find yourself chuckling your way to savings.
