I enjoyed this book. Although I can say I breezed through the first half easier than the second. Ellie Kay goes into more detail about budgeting and saving in the latter half.
Good read.

This book is okay. Not much new information, unless you are completely new to couponing. There are some funny anecdotes, though most don't seem to correlate with what the other is discussing in my opinion.

the only shopping, saving, and sharing this book talks about is that which applies to coupon clipping, saving, and using. for those looking to improve their coupon abilities, a great read. otherwise, not very helpful.
Great book regarding new ways to save money and help be a faithful steward of your finances! Includes details regarding couponing, thrift shopping, sale shopping, and giving as well as scripture and the author's personal thoughts regarding spending and saving in a form of outreach to others by then being able to share what she has saved in forms of food, necessities, etc. Written by a lauded MOPs speaker and military wife.
Great for beginners and for those who have been saving any way they can for a long time.
Good read! Really enjoyable. A keeper for my bookshelf.
This book changed my life. My husband and I were having the same fights over and over again. It was all about the dreaded topic of money. He thought I didn't try hard enough and I thought he spent money foolishly. Then we got Shop, Save and Share. It was a quick read and really challenged us to make some drastic changes. We realized we truly could cut corners in ways that weren't too painful. It truly wasn't that difficult to shave hundreds of dollars off our monthly food budget and simplify other areas of our lives. We have found we have lots of (free) groceries to pass along to other people who need them. By reaching out to others, we've taken the focus off of ourselves and our (former) problems. My husband really appreciates the teamwork philosophy. Our marriage is better than it has been in a long time and we don't argue about money all the time. Thank you, Ellie, for making a difference in our lives by writing this book. I hope you sell a million copies and I hope that those children you support in the US and Throughout the world can one day meet you--you are one incredible lady!
This book has some great advice on saving, focusing especially on her technique for grocery shopping for coupons. I found some great tips. What I didn't, however, enjoy was her strange tendency to start each chapter with a completely unrelated anecdote about her family. It was not so much that I didn't want to hear about her family, but these stories bore no relationship to the chapter at all, appearing as though someone told her she needed a lead-in for her chapters and she did these things.
TONS of great tips!
From the book cover: How you can save hundreds of dollars a month on groceries and household goods - and have a bounty to share.
didn't love this book not as great as i thought it would be
