* WINNERS * Be CentsAble Books Giveaway

Congratulations to the winners of the Be CentsAble Books Giveaway!
(selected randomly at http://www.random.org/)

#18 - Roxann T.
#13 - Steve S.

* The winners will receive an e-mail from me. Thanks to all who entered! Be sure to enter the other giveaways for more chances to win! *

Two (2) lucky readers will win one (1) copy of Be CentsAble: How to Cut Your Household Budget in Half.

The Be CentsAble concept is a money saving method created by two women, Chrissy Pate and Kristin McKee.

As seen on Good Morning America and successfully used by families across the nation, the Be CentsAble method helps reduce everyday expenses without cutting out name brand items.

From the Authors Kristin & Chrissy :
"We started our company, Be CentsAble, with a single focus of helping families like our own save money on the most basic (and very costly) everyday necessity: groceries. As we explored and learned more and better ways to save, we realized there were so many opportunities we hadn't been taking advantage of simply because we didn't know they existed! We began searching for the best ways to cut other areas of our household budgets and challenged ourselves to cut costs in areas we didn't think were possible."

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?

The book, Be CentsAble: How to Cut Your Household Budget In Half is a complete guide to saving money on everyday expenses while keeping life simple and sane! You won't feel pressured to change your lifestyle or conform to strict do's and dont's. Chrissy and Kristin offer a step-by-step approach that's flexible to meet your family's available time and needs.

Here is a sample of the great tips and advice the book offers:

*Don't like coupons? No sweat!: Use "sales cycle" and other strategic shopping methods to save on food items without ever clipping a coupon!

*Cook once, eat twice (or more)! Save time and money with little effort.

*Get a FREE warehouse club membership! Earn back the cost of the membership with one simple purchase you are already making each week!

*Learn how to save hundreds on your electric bill each year in one easy afternoon!

*Save 50% or more on brand name clothing for the entire family!

Purchase Be CentsAble: How to Cut Your Household Budget in Half for only $10.08 (28% off!) on Amazon.com. Eligible for FREE shipping with purchases $25 and up.

As a BeCentsAble Educator, I personally can tell you that after using the techniques that I learned through BeCentsAble have really worked for my household and has cut our grocery and household budget by more than half of what it was before I started doing this!

What is BeCentsAble's mission statement?

BeCentsAble's mission is to help families save money and time so they can focus on more important things. BeCentsAble encourages everyone to "spread the wealth" by using their new money-saving skills to give back to their communities.

I enjoy sharing the money-saving tips with you on My Chicago Mommy every day. Be sure to visit My Milwaukee Mommy also for Milwaukee deals. By taking a BeCentsAble workshop, you will learn how to maximize your savings in a more efficient and effective way. I hope to see you at the class!
