About the Author
Ever since slipping her own crisp dollar bill into the offering plate as a second grader, Ellie Kay has felt that the sweetest dollar was the one you could give away. Blessed at a young age with a frugal nature and a giving heart, Ellie has now transformed into a Coupon Queen and, in her own words, "the half-witted mother of five." After attaining a Bachelor's Degree in Management of Human Resources from Colorado Christian University, Ellie served as an insurance broker in Texas. There she met her husband, Bob, an U.S. Air Force pilot who promised to show her the world. Instead, Ellie and Bob ended up with five children in seven years and an itinerant lifestyle as the family was restationed. With a large family and no set home, Ellie learned that she was either going to have to start looking at life funny-or end up on the funny farm. Her charming sense of humor, easy self-deprecation, and dead-on system for saving money has made her a favorite speaker at ladies' retreats, Christian Women's Clubs, Rotary Organizations, Officer's Spouses' Groups, and more. Armed with a $200.00 monthly grocery budget, Ellie Kay consistently saves her family thousands of dollars a year on household products with an easy, streamlined savings system that has become a favorite of women everywhere. Founded in 1988, Ellie's Shop, Save, and Share Seminars have been delivered to audiences across the nation and have even been made into a film for the Air Force Family Support Center. Ellie's trademark wit and homespun humor come through in her writing as well in her new book, Shop, Save, and Share. Based on her seminar, the title emphasizes the Christian's unique call to stewardship and giving to others. Ellie has never forgotten that initial lesson about the sweetest dollar and is teaching others how to save money around the house in order to provide for those in need. Shop, Save, and Share promises to show families how to lower their food budgets by 50% to 85% below the national norms. As well, it provides practical advice on better ways to shop and gives terrific ideas for giving back a portion of what has been saved. Living currently in New York State with her five children and her husband, Ellie Kay continues to teach women the easy steps to saving a bundle and the simple truths about giving that come from God himself.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

From the Author:

When you're shopping to save--shop with an eye to share.

After having five babies in seven years and eight military moves in ten years--I learned to look at life in a funny way or end up on a funny farm. This is the approach I use to present my method of saving on everything from canned corn to classic cars.

Section one presents a streamlined method of grocery shopping that will save you 30% to 85% a month on your grocery bill--and have an abundance left over to share with the local food pantry. Section two is a reference manuel to save on just about everything you might want to buy. The final section gives tips on setting up a family budget, simplifying your life and even sharing with organizations who love your donations.

One last comment I'd like to add. This book is not a dull,dry commentary. Each chapter opens with an anectdote of life with a house full of children. You may even find yourself chuckling your way to savings.  — Ellie Kay
