Once you start acquiring a few of these frugality books, you see some overlapping of content. However, I consider this book part of the "Thrifty Canon," along with Amy Dacyczyn's Tightwad Gazette and Larry Roth's Living Cheap News. Covers lots of territory--from eating on a budget to spending less on entertainment.

Do what any good tightwad would do--borrow it from the library first to see if many of the advice could apply to you. If you find you'd like to keep it as a reference (mine is filled with highlighted words and passages), go ahead and buy it--it's money well spent!

This book has a great variety of ideas for frugal living without sacrificing quality. I keep mine as a catalog, so to speak. Not all of the ideas apply to me, but many of them do. This book was money very well spent -- which I am sure will make the authors happy!

This book is an excellent source for anyone who is trying to accomplish their goals which require a great amount of money. Not only do they offer tips and experiences, they also make the reader feel more at ease without the fancy grammar used in some books for living well.
