About the book:

Do you know someone you can call a Turbo-Mom?

There are a lot of us out there.  We are managing our households, taking care of our kids, holding down a job or two—sometimes with help from spouses and sometimes not.

How many hours do you spend trying to save money—and then realize that the effort and time outweighed the savings?

Turbo-Mom’s Guide to Saving Money Without Wasting Time is written for women who need to save both time and money—while living in constant “turbo mode” to squeeze everything into a 24-hour day.

This book is not about color-coding your closet or 101 uses for baking soda. It is for the Turbo-mom who needs to be able to pick up this book, use it as a concise but informative guide on their chosen topic, and be on their way to saving money—and hopefully get a laugh or two along the way. Better than a magazine article with savings tips that are promptly forgotten or discarded; this is a handbook and go-to resource for busy moms.

The Turbo-Mom’s Guide addresses everything from coupons and coupon codes to the truth about beauty products to and home repairs and improvements. This book also provides effective tools for saving money on “the big stuff” that most Turbo-Moms don’t have time to research.  This not only includes discussing life, auto, and homeowners/renters insurance—but also demystifies taxes and healthcare for in “real people-speak”! Combined with an easy-to-follow Q&A format and enhanced with Kid-tivities and helpful worksheets, you’ll be saving money in no time!
