Be CentsAble The Book!!

by chrissy on March 30, 2010

in book

Late one September night in 2007 Chrissy and I had just finished a shopping marathon when I mentioned to her that it would be so much easier if there were some complete resource to tell us what really worked, and what didn’t. We had spent months researching and trying the latest new tip we’d found. Some things worked GREAT; others, not so much. It was exciting to achieve savings we’d read about but sometimes we were putting an inordinate amount of effort into figuring out how things “worked” and then maybe discovering they didn’t really work at all!

As a result of our own struggle we wanted to create a resource that would lay a basic and valuable foundation for other families who wanted to start shopping centsably; we wanted to save them from the DIScouragement that might deter them from moving forward; we wanted to offer information that would INcourage families to search for MORE ways to save, and help them navigate the sometimes confusing information.

We started offering BeCentsable’s Grocery Savings workshops publicly in the Spring of 2008 but we realized a need to reach a broader audience. We needed a complete resource that anyone might be able to access whether in a bookstore, online or in a public library. To that end, we are SO excited to announce that the Penguin Group (Plume) has published our book, “Be Centsable: A Guide to Cutting Your Household Budget In Half” and it’s being released TODAY!

Every Monday during the month of April we will be sharing a short highlight of a topic in our book and we’ll be giving away 5 copies. That’s 20 copies of the book! We’ll also be offering a “Tip of the Day” every day in April.

You can find more information on our facebook Author page here, and on BeCentsable’s facebook fan page, here. Stay tuned later this week for the first “tip of the day” and for more information about the book giveaway that starts on April 5th!

You can find Be CentsAble at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Borders!
