AS a wife and working mother of five kids, it’s getting harder and harder to live a comfortable life in our current economy, even on a dual income. So when I had the chance to review a copy of Miserly Moms by Jonni McCoy by Bethany House Publishing , I took advantage of it.

Jonni McCoy began to feel God speaking to her heart urging her to stay home to raise her new child.  So she learned how to reduce her expenses and still have a comfortable life.

Miserly Moms offers some great ideas to save money. She offers tips to save money on groceries, ways to celebrate holidays on a budget and even some great recipes that are affordable yet tasty. The section with recipes even gives a breakdown on how much money you’ll save making your own recipes.

Because my family is large, we tend to do a lot of “warehouse” or “club” whopping. Jonnie devotes a whole chapter on good deals you can find in these stores, like Sam’s Club or Costco.

More than anything, Ms. McCoys book, Miserly Moms, proved to me that a family can exist on one income. I’ve already bookmarked her recipes pages and have started cooking several meals at once to freeze for later (just on great tip of many in her book.)

This book is a must read for any family looking to save money in our rapidly declining economy.
