    Default When Did You First Find Out About TWG?

    I remember the first time I saw Amy and heard about her thrifty ways she was on Phil Donahue Show.
    I always wanted her newsletter but never sent for it.

    I read about her in an article in Parade that came with our Sunday paper. I sent away for one of the newsletters and ended up subscribing and ordering all the back issues.

    I saw her on the Donahue show as well. I sent away for the newsletters and bought the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Tightwad Gazzettes as they came out.

    I at first thought she was a nut case, but as I watched the show
    something clicked. I have the 3 books combined version.
    My mom and dad had to scrimp and save but not to her level so I thought we were doing real good.
    I have learned a few things since then.

    It must have been Phil Donahue. She really inspired me at first. I just didn't get into back then. Wish I had. I checked her books out from the library a few times and finally bought the Complete TG last year when someone had it for $5.

    I saw her in Parade magazine. I then purchased her first book and subscribed to her newsletter. I haven't purchased book 2 and 3 because I have all the newsletters after the first book.

    I first heard of her through the Parade mag article. She reminded me of my mom's frugal ways.
