    Default The Best of Living Cheap News By Larry Roth---have you read it?

    [ame=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0809231883/ref=pd_sxp_elt_l1/103-3489418-4815851]http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0809231883/ref=pd_sxp_elt_l1/103-3489418-4815851[/ame]

    Here's the link to the book on Amazon....

    I was wondering if anyone had it, read it and if it's good...

    Thanks

    I've read it and liked it, BUT I wouldn't buy it. You can probably pick it up at the local library and most of those types of books say pretty much the same thing. I've learnt more here by asking questions and by reading the articles Sara posts than I have in most frugal books I've read.

    I used to own this book, I sold it at our last garage sale. I enjoyed it, but I also would recommend checking to see if your local library has it. Larry Roth is a single man, so not alot of advice for moms. Good grocery buying tips, etc., but this is no "Tightwad Gazette".
