With 3 boys, 3 sports, 3 musical instuments, etc., sometimes you end up with one day that's overpacked and doesn't turn out the way I planned and I've left myself without a good meal option. I'd love ideas to help with that aspect of this busy life...that I love! I am fairly organized and do plan a monthly menu but where we fail is the evening that turns out differently than planned.

Groceries are tough. We have food allergies in the house so the couponing doesn't benefit as much. Eating out and convincing the husband that water is best and we should split something is tough.

Thet go hand in hand. I have tried everything that i know and i will do good for a month and then the eating out and snacks take over. I am very overweight and a diabetic, so i need all the help i can get. I am truly out of control with my eating and finances. Thet go hand in hand.

I can make the perfectly outlined list, with prices and quantities outlined and then go to the store, see the sales and lose it completely. My problem is impulse spending.

Right now, she is a stay at home mom but she and her husband are struggling to make ends meet. It is beginning to look like she may have to return to work. I can't stand the thought of my 4 and 1 year old grandsons being with a babysitter. Thank you. Should I be selected to receive a copy of the book, I will be passing it along to my daughter.

The other area that is difficult is clothing. I know there are good deals out there, but I don't have the time to go shop the clearance racks every day!

Will share though that spending on food is DEFINITELY the hardest for me to control. We average $150 a week on food shopping in north NJ. And I buy my lunch out when I'm at work during the week @ 1-2x/wk. It's crazy! I need to get going on reading your book. I don’t want to be entered into the contest (got my copy already!).

They are all struggles we face too. I wish I could send each of you a copy of my books. But, instead of choosing that expensive choice, here's a tip for you all that can help with the groceries, and one you can do now, before you go to the library and check out the book! TIP: When you plan your menu for the week, plan the meals around the items on the front page of your store flier. Those items are called "loss-leaders" and they are being sold at below cost. By letting those meats be the base for all your meals that week, you will save 35% off your bill. Happy shopping! Love Jonni Hi Ladies:

Sometimes I find it difficult to take the time to clip coupons and find the best deals. Time also sometimes limits options and causes us to go out to eat if we haven't planned something ahead of time for dinner. Your book sounds great! It’s a toss-up between eating out and groceries.
