Pretty good information
July 19, 2010
this is a good book with alot of common sense advice. She offers information on household products that you can use for cleaning. I appreciate this information since I have allergies to commercial products. She gives ideas on using Netflix among some other ideas for family activities. I agree with this and do save quite a bit of money I would spend at the Movie Theaters. I don't feel she spends that much more than alot of families do on their groceries.
Please keep in mind that reviews are subjective. This review is my opinion. Please allow others to peruse all reviews and form their opinions. By name calling or insulting reviewers you are taking away from valuable information someone can pull out when making their purchasing.
I would give this book as a gift to someone who is looking for first time frugality ideas.

Lots of Great Info for Today

I found myself using my highlighter in every chapter. There was something useful that often. This book is very light weight and easy to carry around for references, and there are tons of email reference sites, love it all.

Be Frugal By Not Purchasing This Book
April 07, 2010
It depends how internet savvy you are, but I have found every single tip in this book previously via blogs and email lists online. I think it's a good motivator and refresher? but nothing new here. You'd be better served checking out Tightwad Gazzette or other money-saving websites like Cheapskate Monthly, Debt-Proof Living, etc. Bottom line: this has tricks to saving money, but won't change your ATTITUDE about how you spend, which in the end is much more important.

Not Worth The Money
March 26, 2010
I hate to rain on this parade but I found this book to be disappointing. Taking a paper towel or toilet paper cardboard roll to keep your electrical wires organized is reckless; an accident waiting to happen. Many items were just common sense.

Don't waste you money, anyone who spends what she does on groceries, certainly is not frugal. Very disgusted.
