What seems like forever ago, my good friend Alyssa was watching TV one morning and saw Chrissy from BeCentsable talking about how couponing had changed her life. Alyssa then mentioned it to me and I procrastinated a few weeks before finally checking out the BeCentsable website. Boy did I regret that couple of weeks that I procrastinated! One thing lead to another and there we were, Alyssa and I were full fledged couponers…saving hundreds and hundreds every month! Since that time, my life also has been dramatically changed by couponing and Alyssa and I started Bargain Blessings in November of 2009! All this is thanks to Chrissy and Kristen at BeCentsable, and I’m now thankful to count them as friends.
I’m excited to share that Chrissy and Kristen just published their first book called Be CentsAble: How to Cut Your Household Budget in Half. In their book they share their personal experiences and knowledge about a variety of frugal topics! Their book is packed with very helpful and practical tips that can easily lead one to cutting their household budget in half! Here is just a small sample of the subjects they cover:
Can we afford to buy organic foods and not starve?
Can we cut our electric bill without melting in the summer?
Can “Dinner and a Movie” be affordable again?
Can we go to the beach or Disney world this year or will we have to settle for a local camping trip again?
Chrissy and Kristen have provided us with a complete guide to saving money on everyday expenses while keeping life simple and sane! Don’t worry…you won’t feel pressured to change your lifestyle or conform to strict do’s and dont’s either. They outline a step-by-step approach that’s flexible to meet your family’s available time and needs.
If you would like to purchase Be CentsAble: How to Cut Your Household Budget in Half, it can be found at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Borders! Regardless of where you are in your frugal journey (just considering it or a seasoned expert) this book has a lot to offer. I was thrilled to learn so many new things!

I would love to be better organized with my couponing. I have been doing this about a month, and it has gotten easier. I still feel like I am too spread out and it takes too long to get the coupons together for a shopping trip.

I would love to learn how to decrease our utility bill!! We've cut out all other non-necessities (cable, high-speed internet, eating out, etc.) but our electric bill is steady as ever!
Thanks!

Wow, that sounds like a great book! I am a stay at home mom with three kids, and spending enough on diapers and formula each week to almost feed the rest of the family I have recently gotten into couponing to try and help, but unfortunately I still don't know many of the tricks. 🙁
