Spendthrift to Penny Pincher: A Vision of the New Consumer – WSJ.com

December 17, 2009

Cooking from home…  Who would have thunk!   Author of “Buckets of Food For Pennies”, um… that would be me, suggested this back in 2007…  Am I a visionary?  Maybe, but I like to think that I enjoy eating during an economic downturn.  So do my friends and family.  At least, I think they do. 

You can get your copy of the original “BOFFP” just by asking me for it.  I’ll email a copy to you.  Use the comment section below to send in your request.  Those that do will receive a short-term trading guide for free when it comes out in the spring as an additional bonus.

I’m kind of a foodie in my own right.  Not only do I like eating food but I also love to cook.  What I don’t like is the fact that almost everyone spends too much for their food.  I’m so adamant about this that I authored a book called “Buckets Of Food For Pennies”. 

Beth  of Budget Bytes strikes at the heart of this matter in her blog.  She not only lists recipes but their costs.  Then she breaks those down by cost per serving. 

If you are as concerned or curious about how much you pay for your food as I am you should check out this fledgling blog.  Smart idea, Beth.

The Top 10 Grocery Coupon Websites for Cheapskates

June 22, 2009

Reposted from 6/7/2009

MakeUseOf.com is a site I have followed for about 6 months now.  It took me that long to add the RSS Feed to my RSS Reader.  I’ve never had a bad experience with them.  It goes a long way towards building respect for what they do. 

Recently I came across this article which falls right in line with “Buckets of Food For Pennies”.  It doesn’t say too much about coupons but they are great ways of stretching your food dollars which, BTW, is the third largest living expense for the average consumer and the only way to drastically reduce your money out-go quickly. 

Let me know if this helps you.
