I just finished reading the book, Living on a Showstring Budget by Barbara Steinhoff Scheider, and I am simply amazed at all of the incredible advice! I have always considered myself the Queen of Penny Pinching. Being a single mom of two, I always have to make sure that the ends meet each month. Trust me, it is not always easy to be able to afford to pay all of the bills, buy groceries, clothing, and school supplies each month and be able to know I am going to have enough money to get the things we need. Some of the advice in this book was outstanding! For instance, we love veggies, and they cost so much when we grocery shop that I seldom ever have enough to get all that I want. This spring and summer, I now plan on planting a small garden to help supplement the veggies that I can’t always afford. I’ve thought about that in the past, and actually used to plant a garden every year, but I stopped doing that a few years ago. This year however, I am definitely going to see how much I can save by growing one. On top of the garden, there were so many great websites suggested to earn gift cards and to be able to trade unwanted items around the house for things that we may need or want. I know that this is one book that I will be reading over and over to get new ideas to save money and be able to make the money I do make, last even longer! I highly recommend this book to everyone as it is definitely something that people will find useful regardless of their financial stature. Everyone likes to save money and this book is full of outstanding ideas to save as much as possible!
