LittleMissKnowitAll in the news

WOW!! The response to the news stories has been HUGE! I want to give a big welcome to all the newcomers we have here!

I know a lot of people are blown away by the low totals they saw on the news. They are real–I promise, I do that kind of thing all the time! But I will say that I didn’t learn it overnight, and neither will you. It can be done–there are hundreds of us “Queens” in this city–I am by far not the only one. We all work together, sharing deals and helping each other learn. We each learned a little at a time, and so will you. There are working moms, stay at home moms, single women, married women, grandmothers and mothers of newborns. Anyone can do this!

My advice to those who want to learn–start slow and get organized. I don’t walk into a store with an envelope full of coupons cruising the aisles, looking for good deals. No, I’ve done lots of preparation beforehand, and I go in armed with a list of exactly what I’m going to buy, how much it will cost, and what coupons I will use. I know before I enter the store what I should be shopping for–and I’m only shopping for items on sale. I NEVER pay full price, unless its one of my “treats.”

Some common myths about coupon shopping that I want to break–I eat real food, I don’t eat a lot of processed or junk foods, I don’t buy things I won’t use, and I still save BIG MONEY. I feed my family of four on $200 or less a month–that’s all three meals, seven days a week. We eat meat at every dinner, and most lunches. By planning ahead, and shopping and stocking up when prices are at their lowest point of the season, we are able to save $600-$1000 a month!

Want to do it to but don’t know where to get started? Start reading! I give lots of tips and tricks here on the blog. Mommysnacks and Moneysavingmom, both in my blogroll, are huge helps to me. I’ll be announcing further classes in the next week or so. But if you want a step by step guide on how to get started, check out my ebook. Its $10 and covers almost every area of planning and couponing. And every penny raised goes straight into a mission fund for missions to Guatemala and Africa.

    Amazing how much money you save! I thought I was doing good by making my own baby food and using cloth diapers and washable baby wipes (I make my own wipe solution)! I will check out the coupon idea. I did want to mention that you eat way too much meat! It is not healthy to have meat at every meal! It is bad for your body and the environment. You would save money by scaling back. I should start a blog about how meat eaters could save money by preparing vegetarian meals a couple times a week! Anyway, great news story and great blog!

    WOW congrats to you, I actually came across this site from Google, and I’m so glad i did. I purchased your ebook yesterday and I am trying to get some time to read it. I have 1 year old triplets and a 3 year old…so I’m pretty busy myself. I cant wait to learn how to save money with a family of 6. I was trying to find your email or a way to contact you, i would love to talk about your site and my new site…Do you do affiliate programs? Please contact me if you can sometime, thanks
    Great site!

    You are awesome! Loved the clip. When I tell people how much I spend a month they don’t believe me. If you would have told me 3 years ago that I could get $332 worth of groceries for $32 I would have told you no way! But I do it all the time. The best part is that I am able to help others too and I love it. I learned how to shop from a lady on another site and have been so thankful. It is nice to see that people like you and her are out there helping moms like me to learn how to save our family money. I just wanted to stop by your site and say thank you for your recommondations! Your site is awesome!

    I saw your story on the news and wanted to find out about the classes you offer; I don’t seem to find it on the channel 5 website.
