The Tightwad Gazette

So, you want to stay home with your kids, but don't think you can live on one income? Or are you just struggling to make it until the next paycheck? This is the book for you. Amy Dacyczyn, who calls herself the Frugal Zealot, covers just about every money-saving tip out there - from cutting your grocery bill in half to making creative Christmas presents. But even more important than that, she teaches the principles you need to know to apply cost-cutting to any and every aspect of your life. This woman clothes 6 kids for $50 a year. I'd recommend reading the book just to see how she does that. Of course, a true tightwad wouldn't buy the book - check it out of your library!
