Customer Reviews

Too much repeating - love the author though!

First let me say I love Ellie Kay's books and have read all of them. 1/2 Price living was not my favorite. I felt it repeated too much of the information in her other books such as the Mom's Guide to Family Finances. I would like to see more information unique to the book since I had to skim though sections that repeated information from her other book. I would recommend this if this is your first book of hers, but dont' feel it's worth the price if you've already read her Mom's Guide to Family Finances or Woman's Guide to Family Finances.

Great Advise

I loved this book. Ellie Kay did a great job of making is to interesting I couldn't put it down. I read it in one day! That is unheard of for me. Blessings to anyone who really takes this advice to heart. Meg Anderson America's Fun Budget Coach www.thefunbudget.com

Great for ideas on how to become a stay-at-home mom!!

I thought this was a great book on exploring the ways in which a mom could stay home vs. working......I am a very happy stay-at-home mom and was looking for some ideas on saving money, so this book wasn't the right choice for me. While some tips were listed, it was largely geared toward exploring the pros/cons, etc. of working vs. stay-at-home moms. A great book for those in that situation!

I learned a WEALTH of information-literally

As I read this book, I was highlighting like a mad woman! As a mom with a home-based business, I learned new ways to save money on clothing, groceries, and even vacations. The book was fun to read, with lots of practical info and excellent resources. It was informative and inspiring!
