User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great book!
This is a great book for someone looking to save money. It takes a little practice to get it all down, but I have saved alot on my groceries already. I am learning how to be organized and how to find the right bargains.

2 Stars You don’t need this book.
Almost everything in this book can be found on her website. There are a few recipes (that don’t sound very good) and some helpful websites, but you don’t really need it.

2 Stars A Waste of Money
This book is a waste of money. Only a very small portion of it is about how to save money on groceries and even that is encouraging you to use her website. I live in a rural area which only has Rite Aid as a store listed on her site. She does not really tell how to use your own store and most of the book is how to have a party and recipes. A Big Disappointment.

1 Star Not worth the money!
All the info you need is on her website. Half of the book is recipes and party planning. Martha Stewart can help with that.

Save your money! Spend some time on her website. Also, the grocery game weekly “lists” are not available where I live so check that website before you buy this book!

4 Stars Lots of good ideas
Shopping smart is one thing I aspire to do all of the time, at the grocery store and every where. Buying organic and healthy foods is also a top priority. I have seen other books and websites aimed at helping us save grocery dollars, but they fell short because they depend only on coupons and sales. Umm, hello? I already knew that.

Teri Gault’s book goes much further because although she recommends using coupons and finding stores that double or triple coupons she also gives simple straight forward advice as to how to find these stores and offers. Some of her tips include organizing your shopping cart by where you store the items in your home, which I have done my whole life and frankly always attributed to Obessive-Compulsive behavior. Nice to finally know I’m just setting myself up to be more organized and save $$. The book included a very detailed guide to choosing the best grocery store for you.

In addition, she talks about the importance of organic foods and buying locally. Teri includes very useful lists of produce you should spend a bit more to get organic compared with a list of produce that is safe enough when grown conventionally, like Bananas. Of course, if you can afford it, buy all organic. Its better for the environment. But if you are trying to save money, why not spend your money where it is most important to your health and not waste money when the non organic alternative is cheaper and just as healthy? The biggest draw for me was her month by month of what to buy when according to months of the year these items are at their lowest prices. Ever since I got my copy I have been tracking the sale flyers with her list and she is right on. The last half of the book is about entertaining and recipes and household organization. The recipes were favorites of her family, and they sound fine but not as healthy as I like my staples to be. The Entertaining and orgainzational advice was great, but nothing you haven’t seen anywhere else.

The other detail that stands out is Teri’s honest and personal style of writing. She is just flat out friendlier than the other books and websites I have seen offering money saving ideas. And she really did her research. I’ve been putting her tips to work for a few weeks and I have seen a marked difference in the way I organize to go shopping and the bottom line at the cash register

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars a bit dated but the advice is right on target
How would you like to save anywhere from 45% to 90% of costs on groceries on a consistent basis? How would you like to be able to walk into a grocery store with a $5.00 bill and come out with over $100.00 in groceries? Does this sound too fantastic to you? If it does, you need to read this book and practice the methods given.

Susan J. Samtur gives good advice on how one can save a tremendous amount of money on groceries and earn untaxed income through rebates. The advice she gives is nothing new but so few people follow it. Either out of laziness or skepticism, coupons are underused and misunderstood as are rebates or refunding. In her book Susan J. Samtur details how she is able to earn about $1500.00 a year through refunding and consistently saves between 30% and 45% off the regular price for groceries. She also explains how anyone can save as much or more than her through strategic couponing and refunding. She clears up many misconceptions and myths like “Discount stores are cheaper”, “store brands are cheaper”, “you don’t really save that much on coupons”.

In the age of the internet, some of the methods she mentions are more or less obsolete. On the other hand, she can and will save you a lot of money on groceries if you follow her advice. I’m living proof that her methods work because I’ve tried them and have been able to walk out of the grocery store paying a little over the sales tax on brand name products.

5 Stars It started my addiction
It is not just saving money…it turns you into a coupon addict, a money-saving freak!! Then you try to turn your friends and family on to it. I am currently starting a coupon club because I bought this book 9 years ago, I am now buying it againt to pass on the information to my club members (my book keeps getting passed around and never returns to me!)

5 Stars cashing in at the checkout

1 Star Old and outdated
This book is very old and outdated. If you’re looking to save money and be thrifty, don’t waste your money on this book!

Practical Investment Management with Stock Track Coupon

Practical Investment Management with Stock Track Coupon




PRACTICAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT is intended for learners studying investments for the first time. Very practical and applied, it is comprehensive enough for those who plan to become Certified Financial Analysts, but remains user-friendly due to its clarity of explanation and its pedagogy. The book contains all standard topics found in the typical modern investments text, but in addition, several chapters of Practical Investment Management are unique. In addition to being an increasingly important asset class, mortgage-backed securities provide some thought-provoking questions on fixed income valuation. Bob Strong has an engaging writing style along with practical experience making this a very solid, yet very friendly, book for readers.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars PIM
Good book, very expertly layed out. Aome explainations a bit long winded but has great examples.

4 Stars Practical Investment Management
This book appears to be one of the more practical and straightforward texts on investments that I have encountered. It introduces the reader to why people invest, how security markets function, what typical investment choices are available, and how they are valued.

The book is the right size (about 530 pages) to be covered in a one semester course on the fundamentals of investing. It provides a foundation for analyzing various securities, including bonds, stocks, convertible securities, and derivatives. In addition, the book provides an exposure to risk reduction techniques, such as portfolio diversification and hedging, that is important for investors in protecting their gains or reducing their potential losses.

However, the book is not without its flaws. The chapter on fundamental analysis (chapter 7) could be expanded to include a discussion of financial statements (i.e., the balance sheet and the income statement) and an addition of ratios related to debt management (i.e., debt-to-assets, debt-to-equity, times-interest-earned, etc.). These ratios would provide the investor more information regarding the risks that are inherent with the use of debt. In addition, the topic on duration in chapter 17 does not include a discussion on the purpose for obtaining the duration of a fixed income security, namely how the price of the security is affected by a change in market interest rates.

Despite these shortcomings, the book will make a fine required text for an introductory course on investment management at the undergrduate level.

5 Stars Great introduction to investments text
This book is easy to read and interesting. The author makes investment principles incredibly easy to understand. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to basics of investments.
