This giveaway has ended.
I admit. I’ve never been a big spender. Even when I was given three envelopes for Spending, Giving, and Saving as a child, my Saving envelope always seemed to be the thickest.
But even with my love for saving, I have had a lot to learn through the years about effective strategies for budgeting and staying debt-free. When it comes to managing finances, it can be a lot for anyone to think about, especially if they don’t know where to start. Even if the thought is as simple as wanting to increase a credit score, doing some research into this aspect of money management could be a step in the right direction. If this is something personal, here’s how to fix your own credit score. Hopefully, this could help with managing other financial aspects and relieve a lot of stress that this can cause.
This is why I wish I had read The Money Saving Mom’s Budget: Slash Your Spending, Pay Down Your Debt, Streamline Your Life, and Save Thousands a Year
You may recognize the author, Crystal Paine, as the blogger behind MoneySavingMom.com. I’ve been a fan and reader of Crystal’s blog for many years. In fact, her blog is one of the very first that got me started on the road to couponing and ultimately led to my passion for helping others save money right here on Cha-Ching on a Shoestring.
So it was no surprise to me that I thoroughly enjoyed reading her book and appreciate the easy, manageable steps that she lays out for all of us–whether we’ve new to budgeting and couponing or have been at it for years.
In addition, Crystal offers some fantastic tips on how to simplify and organize your life…which ultimately will help you financially as well.

I have really begun to save money on purchase by couponing (thanks to your blog & blogs like Crystal’s!). Also, a BIG way I’ve been saving money is MASSIVELY cutting down on shopping. It’s amazing how much you save when you aren’t walking down the aisles of stores like Target (my weakness).
I’m an email subscriber. Hope I win. Sure would pump up an old kindergarten teacher.

My fav. way of saving money is stacking coupons with store sales…and making sure I get the best deals by coming here of course!
I like saving $ on little gifts.I’ll buy Hershey kisses after Christmas when they are clearance and I’ll freeze them. At Valentine’s day I pull the red ones out and put them in a small container.(I found 2 small heart shape baskets @ the thrift store for .50,wrap tissue paper ( recycled from one of my other gifts) around the basket and add a bow! This makes for a perfect gift for the teacher or whoever and makes my son feel special about making a gift and I’m happy because we saved! (oh, the green kisses I chop up and use them in chocolate chip cookie recipe.
I subscribe to your e-mail but wanted to add this. We are on an extremely thin budget due to my husbands unemployment. Having 4 small children the one big thing in this house is chicken and although we buy alot when it goes on sale it goes quick. Then I remembered when I was little (the youngest of nine) when my mom was running short on meat she would cut it up in small pieces. It may sound like a silly solution but I swear my chicken (boneless chicken breast) seems to triple in my dishes when I just cut it up smaller. I can’t even remeber the last time I cooked chicken without cutting it up!
