    Default I'm re-reading Miserly Moms

    This book has so much information and great homemade recipes for maple syrup, granola bars, pancakes, etc. Has anyone tried these recipes?

    I need some inspiration, and I think this is helping. It's a great read.

    You won't believe this but I've never read that one. I do sometimes revisit Tightwad Gazette though. Keep up the good work Danielle. I find it always motivates me to tighten the old belt.

    I have this bbook and love it. I use the chocolate syrup recipe, the granola recipe and the orientla noodles with the peanut sauce recipe quite a bit.

    I have not read it but I keep watching the used book stores and garage sales for one.

    We love her pancake recipe-- unfortunately, I loaned my copy to my MIL and it never returned.

    This was the book that really got me started down the frugal path. I've tried some of her recipes and I remember really liking the pancake recipe. It's a great book.

    I like that book and reread it often as well as The Complete Tightwad Gazette and Frugal Luxuries.

    Good pancake recipe? I have this book checked out of the library so I'm going to look it up. I've been using the pancake recipe out of the Tightwad Gazette but I may switch over to the Miserly Moms one if it is better.

    Yep-- I like the Miserly Mom pancake recipe better than the TWG one.

    I just borrowed this book from the library. I like it much better than TWG and Frugal Luxuries. I'm really enjoying it so far. I think I will get my own copy when I'm finished reading it.

    Denise, do you need the pancake recipe? LMK

    I will have to check the library and see if they have it.

    Can someone post the granola recipe, if its not too much trouble? Thanks

    It's a very good book. One of my keepers, in my collection of frugality books.
