Guide Rating -  

Miserly Moms, written by Jonni McCoy, is a practical guide to living on one income in a two-income economy. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and recommend it to all parents trying to make ends meet on one income.

About the Author
Jonni McCoy is a former senior buyer for electronics firms, and is now a full-time mother. She currently homeschools her children.

Highlights:

The Eleven Miserly Guidelines
Miserly Moms starts with "eleven miserly guidelines", with solid information on tips for saving money on groceries.

Other Cost-Saving Techniques
Author Jonni McCoy then discusses other ways to save money, including research on warehouse prices (they aren't always cheaper than supermarkets), saving money on utility bills, and ways to cut medical expenses.

Recipes and Crafts for Kids
Miserly Moms has an extensive listing of recipes to help you save money, complete with a cost analysis, and home-made craft ideas for your children.

And More
This book offers so much more, including menu plans, household cleaner recipes, natural pesticides, and other resources for living on one income.
