Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-12 00:00:00 Karen Migel When I was in college with a limited budget I clipped coupons and played my own version of the Grocery Game, but now that my husband and I are DINKS (double income no kids, as my sister-in-law calls us) making decent salaries I have become relaxed in my qwest to save money when shopping. I saw Teri on television a couple of years ago and visited her website but was very skeptical of the product that she was offering and didn't go any further. After reading Shop Smart, Save More, I think I'm ready to really give her site a chance this time. Her book is the best piece of promotional material she could create for her website. Teri's book got me excited about clipping coupons and saving money again. The book is well written and peppered with personal anectdotes that I could relate with and that often left me laughing out loud. She covers many aspects of her Game that go far beyond clipping coupons and reading advertisements. I especially liked the tips on freezing food and organzing one's stockpile. She reaches out to all kinds of consumers. Admittedly the book is geared toward families, but she has a section for singles and a section on hosting dinner parties. She supplies recipies that come from her friends and family that I can't wait to try. I already have a list of family members and friends that I want to share Teri's book with. I think I'll buy a few copies for gifts when the book is released, using bookstore coupons, of course!
