I was recently given the opportunity to review The Penny Pinchers Club, a novel written by Sarah Strohmeyer (thanks to Dutton Publicity and Penguin USA!).
I crave good books and, since I was heading out on vacation, I was thrilled to get started on this novel... after reading the summary, it seemed like the perfect fit for this penny pincher.
The Penny Pinchers Club opens up with main character Kat Griffiths as a New Jersey wife whose favorite past time involves shopping sprees at Williams-Sonoma and a $240-a-month Starbucks addiction. When faced with the secrets her husband has been hiding, including a hidden bank account and emails to his young assistant, Kat turns to a local Penny Pinchers group to help dig herself out of debt and save enough money to pay for a divorce and a future on her own.
It's a far-cry from her previous ways, but Kat is learning how to live without cable, price match with coupons, dumpster dive for dinner, and all sorts of money-saving tricks that bring her closer to her goal. (Did you know that pumping your gas at dawn saves money because the gas is thicker? I learned so much!)
The Penny Pinchers Club is the perfect recession-proof read that teaches us lessons about what money can and can't buy. The plot is so engaging and heart-warming -- it goes way beyond unfolding money-saving tricks and reveals true lessons of happiness that money can't buy!
I highly recommend The Penny Pinchers Club, and I am excited to to crack open Sarah Strohmeyer's other books including The Cinderella Pact, Sweet Love, The Sleeping Beauty Proposal, and The Secret Lives of Fortunate Wives.

ReplyDeletemjs1708 [at] yahoo [dot] com
One of my favorite books is "Love in Time of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
ReplyDeleteA man call Florentino, rejected by the beautiful woman call Fermina at a young age, devotes much of his adult life to carnal affairs as a desperate attempt to heal his broken heart. By the end of the book, their love is allowed to blossom once more in their old age. For most of the novel, their communication is limited to correspondence by letter; not until the end of the book do Fermina and Florentino converse at length.
I am a HUGE fan of your blog- I check it everyday! I LOVE to read- my all time favorites are the Sookie Stackhouse series, The Twilight Series, Pride and Prejudice, and the Outlander Series- just started #6 a Breath of Snow and Ashes.
