Kathy Spencer can whittle a 267.22 grocery bill down to one penny. How to Shop for Free is Spencer's smart, sassy, step-by-step savings guide that teaches you how to do just that—and more. You'll learn how to find the best savings and combine them with store promotions, rewards programs, and store credit to get almost anything for free—from organic produce to makeup, prescription drugs to clothing. With an eye toward cutting your monthly spending on the basics, Spencer guides you through many popular stores—including CVS, Kohl's, Safeway, Target, and Walgreens—and explains how to maximize your savings. Follow Spencer's plan and, by the end of the book, you'll be shopping for free.

Review:
“There is plenty of solid information here and a certain amount of silliness, which is actually a positive thing, as if the authors take their money-saving strategies seriously but not too seriously...[The] highly specific information on loyalty programs, coupon Web sites, manufacturers’ sites and discount plans, prescription-drug savings and more, will be very useful to people who are trying to make their money go further.” BargainBabe.com, 12/8/10“Kathy shows you how to get the most deals with the least out of pocket expenses and explains how to combine the various reward cards with sales, rebates, and coupons for the best savings.” Boston Herald, 12/10/10
“You’ll save big bucks if you follow the advice in How to Shop for Free.” MommyWantsFreebies.com, 12/19/10“[An] amazing book.” MomsOwnWords.com, 12/15/10
“Kathy explains everything on how to get started by setting your savings goals, getting organized,  and how to match sales with savings...How to Shop for Free is so well organized and thoughtfully written for the newbie...and yet, even the most expert shopper will enjoy this comprehensive how to book.”

“Spencer teaches readers how to get everything...for nothing! Whether she’s showing you how to take advantage of coupons, in-store sales and rewards clubs, or breaking down the marketing lingo, like blinkies, tearpads and CATS, Spencer’s advice is easy-to-understand, actionable and fun!”

Technorati.com, 2/12/11
“Reading about some of Spencer’s amazing deals is a delight in itself, learning how to get them is the reward for that reading...Who would imagine that reading about buying toilet paper and aspirin could be so much fun?

You can’t.” Organic Family on a Budget (blog), 1/8/11
