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.

My favorite way to save money is to budget a certain amount per week for food, toiletries, etc. Take that money in cash out of the bank and pay in cash for everything. I find that I am m uch more careful about what I spend when I am paying in cash.

I recycle EVERTHING to save money. I never buy tupper ware, instead I use the plastic containers the food I buy comes in. We save glass jars for drinking glasses, not only do we never get upset about breaking a glass we never have to buy replacements. Old clothes and bedding get cut into dish rags, cleaning towels or turned into patches for an eclectic blanket
