Going to be fun discussing this book. Its been a long time since I read it, so I've ordered it from open shelf at the library. Should be here in a couple days.

Lets have fun discussing this book.

I think so many new people are visiting and so many longstanding members that may want to revisit TWG topics, so thought it would be nice to have a forum that specifically discusses TWG.

That is the book that inspired me to pay off my credit cards & start saving. It really helped me a lot!

I am on my third "set". I bought the three books twice and keep "losing" them by loaning them out. I finally bought the "complete" one and I won't loan it out to anyone!!

I so glad this forum has been started. Amy Dycyczyn was a such an inspiration for me when I was a young SAHM. I started with the Tightwad Gazette when it was in newsletter form and they were well used over the years. A few years ago I broke down and bought a copy of the Complete Tightwad Gazette. I'll have to get it back out.

I just found out that there is a 3rd book out. I need to get it.
I read books #1 and #2 when my kids were small.
They are grown now. I suppose Amy's children are also.


I love this forum. Thanks!!!

I will never be without a copy of the Complete Tightwad Gazette. I actually had been rereading parts of it just over the last week or two, and was so happy to see this forum!

Love the book! I have all three paperbacks, just recently purchased the complete set on ebay. I'm rereading it again. Good tips inside! Though, I'm not as frugal as Amy, it sure does inspire me.

I just bought the complete tightwad gazette this past weekend. Ive been reading it and have found some great ideas. I would say that some of it is a bit overboard for my taste, but over all it is a great book.

L:ooking forward to discussing this one. I need to pull it out and re-read it. Some of the ideas are too much for me but alot of them are great! Nice idea to discuss this
