    Default I bought "Living More with Less"~$1.63

    I mentioned this in another post, but I was so thrilled with my find, I had to share it here. I was in town today and noticed that the used bookstore had a 40% off sign in the window. After my Dr appt, I dropped in (I am always on the lookout for TWG books). I didn;t find that, but I got "Living More with Less". It was 3.00 and 40% off made it 1.63!! I was so happy with my find. To be honest, I have been living my frugal lifestyle for so many years, I am not expecting any mind-blowing revelations from the book. I am looking for some fresh motivation, and reading through a book like that is great for that. And, you never know what new thing could be found in the pages of an old book.
    ps, yes, I will let you know if I learn something new and great!

    so, what are you learning ???????

    you have to share highlights... I'm waiting.
    I may go get the book too if anything inspires me but it will be hard to top the author of tightwad books, she has a very good outlook mentally on this.

    Sometimes something as simple as a few new recipes makes all the difference.

    I bet you find something new in your book.

    The thing that comes to my mind is that it really opened up my eyes on how much we really do not need. I just need to put it into practice more.
