Frugal Living (47/48 people found this helpful)
As frugal living books go this one isn't bad. It goes right back to basics without being too patronising and is peppered with easy-to implement ideas, although nothing the hardened home economist hasn't probably already tried or at least encountered. Most of it is "common sese for dummies" but seeing it in black & white does make it easier to implement, especaily if you are just starting down the cost-cutting route. It is written from the American point of view & applies to the American way of living first, however I think there is consideration for the UK based reader and most of what is written can be easily applied either directly or with only very minor adaptation.
In short, nothing that can't be gleaned from the many free internet sites if you are prepared to look for them, otherwise a very good starter guide for all-in-one reference.
