CHRISTY JORDAN

Author of Southern Plate

I cant begin to tell you how many of these types of books Ive read. They have a home on my shelf and make me feel like I at least tried to implement the great ideas into my life. Kellys book was differentI have it underlined, dog-eared, and tattered from reading and re-reading! I am so happy to say that while I believe it is well-written, well-researched, and well-organized, the highest compliment I can give is that its the first book of its kind that got me to do something. Ive been clipping coupons with my kids, thinking through purchases and meal plans, and feeling a sense of accomplishment that the stacks of other money-saving books never gave me. I suspect that many others will also be thanking Kelly for writing the one that is too valuable to gather dust on the shelf.

ANGIE SMITH

Author of I Will Carry You

If youre a busy working mom like me, you might dream about saving money through mythical things like couponing and meal planning. Were just too busy for that! Enter Kelly Hancock, with her Faithful Provisions website and her new book, Saving Savvy. She made me feel like these things were doable! She recommends helpful tools like E-mealz mealtime makeover (which I already loved!). Its like having a friend share her best-kept mom secrets! Plus, shes got these cool QR codes throughout the book that you can snap with your smartphone to instantly download tips and more as you read. Im very excited about more moms getting encouragement and help from a great friend like Kelly!
