Cut Your Grocery Bill In Half! with Stephanie Nelson, The Coupon Mom

Donna Freedman is a respected author and savings expert because she has been there herself.    She has learned how to stretch a penny in every category of spending out of necessity, and has written books and articles to help others do the same.  She just finished her second book “Your Playbook for Tough Times Vol. 2″ with practical strategies for saving money, living better, reducing stress and even how to have FUN on a limited budget.

This book is designed to help people live their best lives on the money they have. That means getting some – or maybe all – of what they want in addition to everyday essentials.

It offers solid, actionable advice, resources and encouragement. Readers will take away specific tactics to slash the cost of things like food, education, insurance, home repair, birthdays, transportation, weddings, pet care, decorating, holidays and even funerals.

Also like its predecessor, the new “Playbook” is designed to help three groups of people:

• Those already in tough times (job loss, illness, et al.)
• Those anticipating tough times (e.g., layoffs in the industry or the company)
• Those who want to live lean to realize a dream such as entrepreneurship, at-home parenthood, early retirement or homeownership (your dreams may vary)

If you haven’t read Volume 1, it’s available too.
