After leaving behind the never-sleeping world of pharmaceutical market research and diving into the excitement of being a stay-at-home mom, Beth Montgomery found herself pushing through the days with even less sleep. During the extra-late-night hours, she refocused her energy into her family's one-income budget, challenging herself to see if they could live within their new (very tight) means, while not giving up the little luxuries that make life fun.It wasn't long before Beth cut her $200-per-week grocery budget down to $40-per-week -- for a family of three, including one expensive tiny infant. Even as her family expanded, her grocery budget never exceeded $50 per week. Eager friends and family begged to know her secret, so she started a website, In Good Cents, where she shared all her favorite deals, ways to save, and frugal recipes. On this site, Beth focuses on teaching others realistic -- not extreme -- couponing and ethical ways to save.Beth paid $24.95 (without a coupon) for her husband, Scott. After receiving an e-mail from an online dating service featuring his profile, she paid the membership fee just to meet him. They are now very happily married and living in Indiana with their three adorable young children and three huge dogs. Her home is always chaotic, but never (ever) boring. In her "spare" time, Beth writes for the Indianapolis Star, sharing her ways to save with Indiana readers each week.You can learn more about Beth and delve into her world of savings at In Good Cents: www.ingoodcents.com.Read more about Beth on her blog at: http://ingoodcents.com/about/beth.
