Frugal Living Tips and Recipes Wanted
After much encouragement by many people and with the blessing of my husband, I'm working on a series of books (which will, Lord-willing, be both in ebook form and printed form) on frugal living. My simple little ebook, Simply Centsible Suppers, received such excellent feedback and so many have been asking for more that my husband and I finally felt God wanted me to make the time to do this.
Anyway, I have a lot of different things I could share on frugal living and I have many different frugal recipes, but I know I've barely scratched the surface. Although I will be primarily authoring these books, I'd love to have some choice tidbits from various other contributors sprinkled throughout these little volumes.
So, I'm asking for your help. Here is what I am looking for:
1. Frugal Living tips - What are your top three money-saving tips?
2. Frugal Recipes - Main Dishes, Soups, Sides, Breads, Desserts, Breakfast, Lunch, and/or Supper Menu
3. Testimonies of how God provided for you and brought you through lean times.
4. Recommended frugal living books, resources, or websites
5. Frugal shopping tips (grocery, clothing, etc.)
6. Do you have a household budget that you abide by? If so, I'd be interested in hearing the particulars.
7. Anything else that is pertinent to this subject which you think would be important to share in a series of books on frugal living.
I know that I'm asking a lot and I don't feel like I have anything much to give in return. But, everyone who contributes will be given a copy of one of the ebooks and if your contribution is included in the ebook, you will receive a printed copy of the book. In addition, you will know that you are blessing and encouraging many families in their quest for frugal living.
To submit your contribution, just email me. Questions? Feel free to email me as well. Also, if you know anyone who would be interested in contributing, please feel free to let them know about this opportunity as well.
Also, for those who are curious, the book for young ladies is just about finished. We're in the editing stage right now and will be announcing a pre-publication special as soon as we have a cover image and start laying it out. I'm really excited about it and think that it meets a real need out there. Thanks for your patience -- I had to take a break from writing or producing anything new for a year due to adjusting to being a new mom and to focus my energies on some other things. I'm now back into the creating/producing mode and have many things on the "drawing board" which I can't wait to finish! :)

How soon would you like submissions to the numbered requests listed in the post? I can have them by Saturday.

This strikes me as funny. Just today my husband and I decided I would put out some publications on this very subject.
I've lived frugally most of my life due to necessity.
Even so I feel like I'm just scratching the surface as well!
I think the frugal ideas book sounds great! I can't wait to buy a copy!
Oh, I didn't even think about a deadline -- haven't gotten taht far! :) Saturday is fine. Anytime in the next few weeks. Thanks!
Crystal,
I was just wondering if I were to get a copy in hard copy? Since I don't have a computer of my own, I can't print out the e-book. I like hard copies better anyways!
Let me know and I will pay you whatever you want plus shipping once it's done.
Thanks.
What is the young ladies book?? I must have missed that one...
Dawn -- yes, Lord-willing, hard copies will be available -- that's the plan, at least. :)
AussieTigger -- The young ladies' book is something I was supposed to have finished this time last year, but it got put on the back burner. I'm hoping to have info on it up on my website by the end of next week. It's nothing earth-shattering, but something I just felt God wanted me to do to encourage other young women out there.
Crystal~
Can you list the books you are working on??
