I Hit The Mother Load! :-)
Well, maybe not the mother load, but boy did I luck into a deal. I was driving the back roads in an area I haven't been through in 15 years and saw a garage sale sign. On a Wednesday!? Drove past and then thought, well, why not!
I found some great books:
Cut Your Bills In Half
Cut Your Spending In Half
The Tightwad Gazette III
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
Wealth 101 - Getting What You Want - Enjoying What You've Got
All for $4.00 - All but one are hardback!
