Update: This giveaway is over and the winners have been notified by email.
I love the Coupon Mom, Stephanie Nelson. I am certain I’ll love her new book (which is on its way to my house as we speak) and excited to give away two copies. Stay tuned for details on how you can enter to win.
First, let me tell you what I love about the Coupon Mom. Stephanie revolutionized couponing with the “whole insert coupon system.” This is what I use and talk about, where you save the whole coupon insert from the Sunday paper, date it, file it and only clip the coupons that match sale items. Stephanie has a best-of-its-kind coupon database that keeps track of exactly which coupons your local paper received, since coupon values vary by region of the country. You can look-up product name, see if a non-expired coupon from the Sunday paper exists for that product and which coupon insert its in. Her database is what keeps me from the tedious work of clipping and filing all those pesky coupons.
By reading her book you’ll learn:
- How to get the best deals at wholesale clubs, mass merchandisers, discounts stores, and drug stores
- How to combine store sales, coupons, and promotions to get the deepest discounts and even FREE products
- Easy ways to track prices and the foolproof rules on when to buy, and when to hold a coupon
- Why buying in bulk isn’t always more cost-effective
- How to buy organic without breaking the budget, and much, much more!

About Carrie Rocha
I LOVE to save money! I am trying to save enough right now to take my husband on a trip for his 30th Birthday!! I can use all the help I can get.
I would love to read this book. I still clip coupons and I am very curious about this new way of thinking. Saving just the coupon inserts makes no sense to me currently but I always love learning a new way to look at things. I love PYD site and all it shares each week. Keep up the good work!
I am fairly new at using coupons. While I am struggling to organize my thoughts it seems people who have been doing this a shorter time than I have are thriving at it. I am also a victim of the recession, like many others, and couponing is a necessity now and I need to take some of the stress out of the process. I would love to read this book to learn more about how to get the best out of my coupons.
I am hoping to save enough money to put towards a long deserved wedding anniversary trip with my husband. We’ve never gone anywhere beach-y. I can’t wait to start saving more money!
I would love to learn how to efficiently clip coupons & organize them.
Thanks Carrie!
I have always loved to use coupons but have never really known how to use them to get the best deal or get things free. I would just clip out the ones I need for the week and throw the rest in the recycling. I am interested in learn how to save our family money and be more organized.

I would love to win a copy of this book. I love couponing and try to do as much as possible but I am always open to learning new and better ways to stretch our $$.

I made the commitment on my Facebook page that I will save money in 2010.
I recommend this website to people all the time! I currently clip coupons too so am curious about the save the whole insert method and how that works. Thanks for offering this opportunity.
For so many years, my nickname has been “momonthego” and “Coupon Queen”. However, just recently, I found this site and Coupon Mom and have been working extremely hard to cut our families food budget in half for the month. I’ve shared all my new knowledge with my friends, friends and co workers. I’ve even donated many of my new FREEBIES to charities and foodshare. My friends are truly amazing at how much I’ve saved and the bargains I have been getting for FREE that they now want me to create a blog or 1 page newsletter. Winning this new book would be just AWESOME!
The book sounds like a good read. I am a single parent of three, and am always looking for a good deal.
Here’s what I wrote on my FB Profile:
“My mid-January resolution is to save money on my groceries in 2010, I’m going to use http://tinyurl.com/pyd2010 to help me do it.” So far I’ve saved so much money and donated many freebies to charities. This is a wonderful hobby!
It would be awesome to win the new book from Coupon Mom!
I would LOVE to win the Coupon Mom’s book as I have just begun reading her 1st book and am learning things I didn’t know before! I have always used coupons and have saved a decent amount over the years but want to take it up a level this year. My goal this year is to shave as much off of my food budget so that I am able to support STEP, my city’s food shelf that helps our neighbors.
I have always used coupons but have really increased in the past year. Feeding my family of 7 is always a challenge..food they like, meals that are somewhat healthy, and fitting this all into the budget…I’m always looking for new ideas!
I have always loved saving money and have tried to instill this in my children. Now that my husband and I are retiring we will need even more help with this!
I just posted “My mid-January resolution is to save money on my groceries in 2010, I’m going to use Pocket Your Dollars to help me do it.” with the link as my Facebook status
I am interested in this book because I have always been frugal but hated couponing. I thought something was wrong with me because I couldn’t get the hang of it. The whole-insert method (which I was ready to give YOU credit for, Carrie!) is what is making a difference, so I would love to hear more of her ideas.
I’d love some more advice on how to save money!
I would LOVE to win one of these books…Our family of 3 will be a family of 4 sometime within the next two weeks and I need some serioius help on learning how to use coupons and save some $$$ so I can be home with my two precious kiddos more. Thanks for the opportunity!
I love the Coupon Mom, because I felt either completely overwhelmed by couponing, or like it was a useless venture until I checked couponmom.com out. Now I totally get it, and it’s saved me a TON of money. I would LOVE to win this book. Thanks!
I love to save money. I was looking at this book at Barnes & Nobles last week and would have bought it if I had had my membership card with me. Maybe I forgot it for a reason:)
It has been very helpful to learn how to save money on groceries. I would love to read this book and learn how to save even more. Thank you.
I was just wondering how to organize the coupons. Hope I win the book and learn how.
Carrie, Thanks for all the work you do compiling shopping lists. I found your site about 6 weks ago and love it. I especially like finding all the downloadable coupons.
I would love to have a copy of this book. I saw Stephanie’s clip from the Today show and see a lot of the same techniques used as Carrie shows us each day. I went from working full-time to half-time to spend more time with my gorgeous babies. I’ve really put our family’s budget to good use now as our income has dropped from the change in jobs. I feel like I “fell off the wagon” of using coupons as much as I should over the holidays. I’ve dug back into the process again and will be enjoying the savings at the cash register each time I go shopping! Thanks for all that you do, Carrie!
I would love to win this book. I just started using coupons and would like to learn more2!2
Put my name in the pool. I have watched Stephanie a couple of times recently as she’s been on a few shows. Great stuff. I appreciate your work, too! Clip on…
Love the coupon mom and would love to learn more of her tricks to save money. Thanks Carrie! Love your site also- have saved so much!
