One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

  2. I am looking forward to reading Paper Love: Searching for the Girl My Grandfather Left Behind by Sarah Wildman. When you wrote about it earlier, I followed your link to NPR to find out more. It sounds fascinating, History, love story, travelogue, mystery – all rolled into one.

  3. I love to read The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch-Randy worked, loved, and lived in my neck of the woods!

  5. The Death Class looks good! Thanks for the chance to win them all! When I am done reading them, I will pass them on!

  12. I follow you on Facebook and its nice to see that your giveaways and deals really are true.All of your mornings with Mavis deals that I have tried have been just as you described! Good work!

  21. Hi Mavis,

    I would be most excited to read “The Last Lecture,” but would welcome any free book!

  22. I am most excited by “The Last Lecture.” I hadn’t even heard of it until you mentioned it. Thanks!

  25. I would love to read The Last Lecture. I’ve watched it before and absolutely loved it.

    I follow you on both Facebook and Pintrest.

  29. Hi Mavis! I follow you on both Instagram and facebook. I think I would love to read Paper Love. I’ve also commented on facebook on the pantry photo. Also subscribed! I love your tips, particularly the recipes for the freezer. I also really love how you eliminate food waste by picking up produce. I just moved to a new house on a double lot and we are putting in a chicken coop as soon as we can. 🙂

  45. The last lecture! I may have read it years ago, but cannot for the life of me remember if I actually did.

  57. They look like a nice collection with a variety to enjoy. I think my top pick is The Last Lecture. Thanks!

  58. Hi Mavis,

    I would love to read The Last Lecture. I follow you on fb and get your daily updates.

    Thanks mate,
    Kate

  61. The Death Class looks like something I would like, I’m always looking for something new to read.

  66. The Last Lecture would be my pick. Saw a segment on him on 60 minutes (I think) and have wanted to read the book
    since then.

  67. I’d love to win ‘As You Wish’. I’ve been a fan of the book and movie since high school (we won’t talk about how long ago that was) and would love to read the behind-the-scenes. The Princess Bride and The Neverending Story (don’t bother with the movie on this one) were my favorites!

  70. I follow you on Pinterest and Twitter. It’s about all the social media I have time for.

  75. I would love to read The Last Lecture. I enjoyed watching a lecture by the writer in a class I took, and would enjoy taking my time to read through his thoughts.

  77. The Death Class looks pretty good! Follower on FB, Pinterest, and email subscriber.

  84. I would love to read Don’t Let Me Go, it has me intrigued! I follow you on FB and Twitter, shared/retweeted on Twitter. I really enjoy your blog!

  86. I would choose Paper Love. I love historical human interest stories. Also, the reviews are very good on this book. Thanks for the giveaway, Mavis! 🙂

  96. The Last Lecture, for sure. I remember when the video went viral a few years back and I was so inspired!

  97. What would I read first? Hmm, maybe one or two at the same time? They are books…. I love, adore, lust after, desire, and want books. Perhaps I will start with the Last Lecture, knowing it won’t be the last book!

  100. The Last Lecture, I am not on any social media but I am subscribed to your newsletter!

  101. The Last Lecture is the one I’m most excited to read! It’s been on my wish list for a while.

  105. As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride by Cary Elwes. I love that movie!

  107. Paper Love. I really enjoy historical novels that combine fiction with real history.

  121. I would love to read The Last Lecture! I like/follow you on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.

  123. I can’t wait to read Paper Love. There is so much I wish I could ask my grandmothers about their lives and thoughts. They passed when I was in grade school so although we loved each other, I don’t know them well.

  126. I havent heard of any of them. But I LOVE reading. Ive been in a reading funk lately and need a fantastic book to bring me out of it!

  128. I comment quite a bit on your posts. Last one I commented on was about moss in the yard I think.

  129. As you wish would be my first choice but the only one of these books I have is the last lecture.
