    Smile Am getting the Complete Tightwad Gazette...

    I am so excited.....I have been watching on e-bay the prices for The Complete Tightwad Gazette and someone put it on a buy it now with free shipping. All of the others I was watching were going for more than the BIN price I paid and they also had to pay shipping. I can't wait to get the book and get started with my reading.

    ~Cool! I waited around for a great bargain too. I remember I paid $10 at Amazon for mine with free shipping. Happy reading!~

    I just got mine the other day. I, too, went through Amazon but I didn't get the free shipping.

    The total, with shipping, was $16.99.

    I'm rereading my copy right now too! I get so inspired.

    I may have *gasp* paid full retail price of 18.95 for it a year ago, but it really was money well invested. I don't think I've bought a book since!

    I still read mine. I hear a lot of complaints that it's outdated and the costs she uses don't apply today, but I think her basic message of frugality is timeless. I always get inspired rereading her articles.

    That is great! I just took mine back out this evening to go over.

    Try to have a note book and pen handy so you can mark down the pages you would like refer back to as there is no table of contents.

    Have fun!

    Hope you like it, as well as I do. Mine has tattered corners, and higlighted areas all throughout it. I get mine out every so often to read. Always get something out of it.
    ENJOY

    I think I'm going to pull mine out again. I remember getting it several years ago really cheap from amazon. I want to say $5. I just remember it being too good a deal to pass up.

    After checking it out of the library multiple times last year, I finally bought a Complete TG on Amazon for my Christmas present to myself. I don't care if a small amount of the advice is 'dated' most of it is timeless!

    That's one of my favorite books...I found it used can't remember where I got it but paid next to nothing for it.

    Some of her stuff is outdated but its still great information.

    I read mine like the Bible! lol

    Really ... it's timeless reminders of what we can do to help decrease the need (stress) of that other job.
