I am excited to share with you my first book review of 2012 and it’s written by a blogger that I admire – not just for her amazing blog but for her real life integrity and character as a Godly woman. This is Crystal and me at the Relevant Blogging Conference where we were speakers together the last 2 years. With over 150,000 Facebook Followers and over 85,000 Twitter followers, Crystal has become one of the leading bloggers for helping moms save money and her book Money $aving Mom’s Budget was just released TODAY!!
As I read Crystal’s book I felt like I was walking down memory lane. Much of her book, I have either seen role-modeled by my mother growing up and my sisters, or I have fully lived and practiced. For the first 3 years of our marriage, my husband was a student at the Ohio State University and I worked as a receptionist, Administrative Assistant and then a Pager Sales Rep. (Yes – I’m so old that I sold pagers for a living – this was before the cell phone craze! lol!)
For the first year of our marriage, I made just above minimum wage and that meant no eating out and finding every deal we could for groceries and clothes. After he graduated from college, we moved home and at that time he began working with a very good paying job. We decided that I would stay home…and that’s when I really learned how to work the drugstore rebates, how to organize a coupon box, how to menu plan around the ads and run from store to store for all of the deals. I also fell in LOVE with Aldi and I’ve never stopped this love affair! It’s close to my home and has great prices without needing coupons!
If you are in a position where you need to pay off college loans, credit card debt, have low savings – or no savings, would like to pay for your house in full, or have some extra spending money for vacations and luxuries - then this book is for you!
Crystal gives step by step instructions on how to set goals and make a budget. For the first 10 years of our marriage, my husband and I followed a budget that together we set and followed strictly. I turned in every receipt to him (he does the finances) - marking which category it fell into on the reciept and my husband entered it into Quicken software on the computer. I would go into Quicken and see where I was overspending or where I had extra money to dip into. This worked really well for us.
Crystal explains how to work a cash-only system – which I watched my mom do when I was a child. When we needed money for an item – she’d dip into her money box, flip to the category and pull out the cash. When the money was gone from the category for the month – so was the spending. I love how she role modeled self-control to us girls.
This book fully explains how to work coupons – and I mean work coupons for a huge savings! It’s incredible how effective coupons can be once you put energy into learning the system. Again, my mom role modeled this in our home - sometimes when I was bored – she’d put me to work clipping coupons or pulling out the expired ones and sorting them. I thought it was fun as a kid (so put your kids to work on this!)! Now, one way my mom shows she is thinking of me, is by handing me coupons on a monthly basis! She always hands me coupons for my favorite Christian book store (she knows my love for books), my favorite clothing stores and just this week – she showed up with a coupon book for Dairy Queen since we live so close to one – and a coupon to Shutterfly! My family DOES coupons 
!
Crystal also explains how to never pay retail. This is another biggie of mine that I have shared here on Women Living Well! I have a video where I show my consignment shop finds – I LOVE my local consignment shops and purchase items for myself and the kids there regularly. I also have posted multiple posts on how I like to do clothes swaps with my friends! It’s another fun way to get new clothes – free (in the picture of me above, the grey shirt under the sweater, I got free at the clothes swap)! And as for my husband’s clothes…all of his casual clothes we purchase from our brother-in-law who has an amazing sense of style – used! We are shameless with our deals – and we love hitting the jackpot at garage sales, as well as putting one on yearly at my sister’s house!
I highly recommend Crystal’s book - it’s not a get rich quick manual but rather she shows you how to work hard and smart – and change your life!
All of the proceeds from this book are being donated to Compassion International - which is just another reason to purchase this book if you know you are in a place financially where you need to make changes.
Crystal has generously given me 5 copies of The Money Saving Mom’s Budget to give away! Simply leave a comment below and I will randomly choose 5 winners on Saturday, January 14th.

Oh how I would love to learn more about what this book teaches. I have done really well this past year and working to get out of debt, but would LOVE to learn more about couponing and saving. I LOVE consignment and actually have a small business earning a percentage by consigning for others in our yearly/seasonal sales – My dream is to open a children’s consignment shop in our area – I wish I was brave enough to just go for it.
Thanks for the oppurtunity to win such a great book! I LOVE this blog and love your support through your blog for everyday life loving Jesus!
I have a friend who is the writer for http://www.groceryshrink.com and she is always posting ways on how to be frugal and save money. This book sounds wonderful! I’ll have to put it on my wishlist for purchasing, but right now “extra” purchases are off-limits due to needing to pay down the debt!

I would love to win a copy of this book. Budgeting has been so hard for us since I am a SAHM and we rely a lot upon the tips my husband makes at his job. Tips vary from day to day so it’s hard to know exactly how much we’ll have total for a month. Times are hard right now so we are already trying to figure out ways to cut costs and make the most of what we have.
I would love to win. Thanks for the opportunity.
I love any resources that will help a family save money! Doesn’t everyone? I try to save with coupons but would love to learn how to better use them. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I would love to win this! My hubby and I are finally ‘seeing the light’ when it comes to finances and our issues in that arena, but it’d be awesome to have any advice we can get.

Sounds like a great book.
As a mama of two littles doing this on my own, I would love the encouragement that it sounds like this book would offer. It’s in me to be frugal and look for deals (I’ve never bought diapers without a coupon) but even with the coupon bug I struggle to keep on budget and often thinks that wants are needs…especially those red tagged wants! I’d love to dive into this book and take on this challenge.
Ps: I shared on Facebook for my fellow-ette frugal mamas!
I wish I could have had her book and advice a lot sooner, but would definitly love to put it to use!!!
My friend, Kristen Warren Slaughter, told me about you and your blog and it looks like I picked a good day to check it out! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love how bloggers support each other! Give-aways are always fun! We’re currently trying to pay off debt so we can move into a new place with room for baby #2. When #1 was born, we decided I would stay home, and then my husband lost his job = DEBT! He’s working 2 jobs right now trying to make up for lost time and get us back on track. I love his heart for our family, and his support of me being home. God bless every home as they read through this book and strive to be good stewards of their financial blessings!

I’m so lost in finances and saving. I thought I was doing the best I can but looking at others know I can do so much better!
Since being monetarily forced to leave our “restaurant-going” lifestyle behind – we dove head first into saving money – and that’s what we share a little about everyday in some way on our blog – so would so LOVE a copy of this book to read myself and share our experiences with others!
Would love to win this book and get us out of debt once and for all!!!!!

Great ideas on handling finances in a very practical way. I am glad that the Lord is using her in such a great ministry. I am always looking for other ways to better care for the gifts from the Lord. As a full-time missionary who is not yet fully supported, I often rejoice to see how the Lord somehow keeps putting food on our table. He is good!

I would love to win a copy of this book, I have been a follower of Money Saving Mom and Women Living Well for some time. (they both lift me up) I was introduced to both by my wonderful daughter.

I love your site and am so impressed how you put God first in all of your articles and stories. I read MSM’s blog yesterday and was so tickled and humbled when I seen that she is donating the proceeds of this book to Compassion International.

Oh I would love this book. I was doing so great with coupons, and then after the birth of our fourth baby last summer, I sort of fell off the wagon.
I PRAY I GET THIS BOOK!!! My finances and budgetting IS HORRIBLE, Im 23 with 2 children and just found out the Hospital tried to garnish my bank for 10,000 i owe them, but THE GLORY BE TO GOD, because THERE WERE NO FUNDS IN THE BANK OF ACCOUNT. If that would have happened I could have been evicted. IM KEEPING THE FAITH, but even if i dont get it for free, I BELIEVE IT WILL BE WORTH THE MONEY TO BUY! THANK YOU BOTH FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO, YOU HELP INSPIRE ME TO KNOW THAT I CAN DO IT, BUT IN DUE SEASON ALL OF THIS SHALL PASS.
What a great book to add to my must read list of 2012! Thanks for this giveaway!

Hi! I’ve recently come across your blog and I really enjoy it. I’m renewing my walk with God this year, as well as many other things and I appreciate finding blogging women who share the same lifestyle goals, and values I do.
I have two little children and life has never really called for a budget before kids, but boy it sure does now! L.O.L. I guess you never really realize how expensive life can be until you’re in a position where you need to save.
When I was pregnant with my first child two years ago, our well went dry (no water) and we had to have water brought in by a pumper truck (to be able to flush toilets and wash dishes) until we could have a new well dug. Unfortunately that blew through all the money we had set aside for me being a stay at home mom.
My husband has allowed me to be a stay at home mom, but we are having to really cut back on a lot of things. Our gracious God has always provided when we were in need and we’ve made it through some pretty tough times.
I think this book would help me to learn to stretch what little we do have and maybe alleviate a little stress on my husbands end.
Thank you again for your blogging, keep up the good work!
God Bless,
Jessica

If there’s one thing I need to do is learn to clip and use coupons. Thanks for this opportunity.

I would Love this book. don’t we all need something like this now.
Great book! I hope I’ll be one of the 5. Thank you for your generosity.
I would love to win a copy of this book. I have really gotten off track with my spending since the birth of my third daughter last year, and I would love some encouragement to help me get back on track. My husband works hard to provide for our family, and I want to do my part to help with our finances.
this sounds wonderful … having spent the last 2 months budgeting approximately $5 a day for food for 4 of us (and pretty much succeeding without too many ‘I’m hungries’!!) this would be great for some extra tips.
I am all about saving money. Especailly since my parents moved in with my husband and I. We are just entering our second year of marriage. Trusting God!
I always can use a little help with saving money!
Hello, may I have a copy? Thank you.

I would love to receive a copy of this book. My husband and I are both over 50 and coming to realize that he will have to work until he can no longer physically do so. Last month, an illness cut him out of a paycheck right before Christmas and we couldn’t pay utilities. We lived on ramen noodles and soup from ALDI! We live paycheck to paycheck and obviously found that one paycheck put a big dent in our welfare. Would love some ideas on how to make what we do have stretch. I am a disabled homemaker, so I’m unable to contribute to the financial part. Thank you

Thanks for sharing Courtney how important it was for you to see the principles of being frugal and a good steward from your mother. I hope that when my children are grown and moved out they will start out using God’s way of spending money rather than the way that the world tells them to spend their money.

I have been following MoneySavingMom for 2 years now. I absolutely love her site and I’m sure I would love her book as well. Thank you for this opportunity!
Thankful for the opportunity to own this book. I follow Crystal’s blog and really appreciate all she does to help others while still maintaining her own family life in such a dignified manner. A few years back, I took a different position within my company when a family member got sick with cancer so that I could be home and not travel. It was a 50% paycut but it was the right decision for my family. Six months later my husband left and I had to do some very fast adjusting, especially financially. Still learning and pulling myself out of this pit. I welcome all the advice and tips I can find.
shared on FB and would love to win the book

Would love to win this book to help with my finances – make an ACTUAL budget!
I have been familiar with Crystal’s website for some time, but it’s nice to know that all of her advice can be easily accessed in one place. I would like a copy of her book to know exactly how to improve my financial situation and get rid of credit card debt as well as save money. That and being able to have money still left in the bank at the end of the month!
