Saving Savvy Giveaway with Kelly Hancock

 

Not too long ago, I received a request to review a manuscript for an upcoming book that was being released. The book was about saving money. I immediately said yes. (Who doesn’t want to save money these days?)

What a delight to get a sneak peek at this helpful manual. I immediately saw that financial genius Dave Ramsey had endorsed it. (The hubster & I love us some Dave Ramsey!) Here is what I wrote after devouring the manuscript:

  1. I always feel like I’m robbing Peter to pay Paul when I”m shopping. I dont want to use money as an excuse for not buying healthier food for my family. Healthy eating is expensive eating. The more processed the food the cheaper it seems to be. We eat a lot of chicken (the options for prep are endless) and i try to have baked potatoes and steamed veggies. by the time i pick up the essentials the mmoney is gone and there is nothing left for after school snacks that i want my kiddos eating. They love love love fruit! Here is an example of my Peter and Paul. I bought them apples at a cost of almost $7 for a bag. That seven dollars was lunch meat or breakfast for the week. I utilize coupons when possible, but i still feel like i’m treading water. Please Help!

  2. Our biggest struggle with grocery budgeting is meal planning. We typically are very unorganized and will end up running to the store multipul times a week for various small items that are needed for a nights meal. We end up spending more money a week than what was budgeted. I would love to learn new skills.

  3. Like many of those who have already posted, I spend a good deal of money on meats. One thing I’ve started doing is buying “family packages” of meat when they are on sale and tossing meal-size servings into freezer bags with spices and frozen vegetables. I put these in the freezer and take one out before work in the morning so that I can quickly prepare dinner when I get home. I would love to read more tips on saving money and (as Leigh stated above) be a better steward of what God has given us.

  4. I spend lots of time in the cheese section…love all those fat grams…I heard once that we should shop only the perimeter of a super market…all the bad stuff, preservatives are in the aisles! Linda

  5. I tend to spend more on the convenient food such as snacks or pre- chopped bagged veggies etc… It’s all about convenience since my husband and I both work more than one job. The book sounds like a must have!!!!!

  6. Most of my money is spent on fresh and local produce in my supermarket. I cannot resist the beautiful and healthful fruits and vegetables, especially in the summer. They make up my entire meals. Nutritious, yummy, and a real treat!

  7. I drop the most money on meat or produce. I belong to a dinner club and can have 4 nights of dinners for just around $50 (usually less), with something different each night. That has been the biggest blessing to me!

  8. Unfortunately, I have to say I spent the most on frozens! Not the healthiest of choices and expensive to boot! Makes me wonder why I do it? : )
