I was surprised that only 17 readers entered our book giveaway contest. I’m assuming it’s because “Money Saving Blueprint“ by Bryan Bowers is a Kindle book and not many have the e-reader. Those who entered had a higher chance of winning, but I could only pick one person!

I initially wanted to give the book to reader Kay, who said the Great Recession has greatly affected her family. She said after reading the book she would share it with her book lending club for other local families to benefit from her win. There was only one problem – it’s a Kindle book. Rats!

Ultimately, I declared the winner as…

Jolyne Dunn, who’s raising her grand kids:

Our daughter passed away suddenly and we have taken in two grandchildren. We are living on Social Security so money is very tight for us.

I hope this Kindle book helps you cut down expenses, Jolyne.

First runner up is shirley i:

This recession has affected us in many ways, but right now the price of gas is making us rethink every trip to the market, drugstore, visits to friends and family, etc. We really think about combining errands and we have to calculate whether it really is worth the extra gas in order to save a few dollars by driving farther.

Second runner up is Donna:

When the recession began, the company I worked at went out of business so we had to live very frugally on unemployment until I found another job. Thankfully, I eventually did find a job, but it has taught us to save more for you cannot always predict when a rainy day may come again.

The winner and runners up will be notified by email. If the winner does not respond within 48 hours, the book goes to the first runner up, and so on.

Thanks to everyone that participated. If you’d like to read the book, you can buy it on Amazon for just $2.99.
