I am giving away 2 copies of the new book, The Penny Pinchers Club by Sarah Strohmeyer. Ms. Strohmeyer is also the author of The Cinderella Pact.
In The Penny Pinchers Club, Kat Griffiths has never saved a penny in her life. Living in New Jersey (the state that boasts the most malls per capita) it's no surprise that her favorite pastime is shopping. When Kat learns that her husband has a secret bank account and may be planning to leave her, she decides to kick her spending habits in preparation for a divorce.
She begins by cutting back on the small things--kicking the $240.00 monthly Starbucks habit, canceling her HBO cable subscription, and quitting her gym membership. But when Kat joins an eccentric but charming group of savers called the Penny Pincher's Club, her newfound hobby becomes an over-the-top obsession.
Soon she's baking her own bread, diving dumpsters for her family's dinner, and hoarding years' supplies of tampons under her bathroom sink. The measures she takes not only save her money, but save her time--time she spends with her husband, their daughter...and an old flame, who resurfaces at precisely the wrong moment, offering Kat a life where money is no object.
Chock full of laugh-out-loud plotlines and quirky yet endearing characters, The Penny Pinchers Club is the perfect pick me up for these troubling times and a valuable lesson--in finances, in love, and in the unexpected ways in which hardship can lead to happiness.
You will also find many useful penny pinching tips.
The author, Sarah Strohmeyer is the author of ten previous novels including Sweet Love, The Sleeping Beauty Proposal, and the bestselling Bubbles series.
The drawing will take place on July 13th.
