    Default I Know We've Discussed This, But...

    Does anyone have any frugal reading suggestions for me? I'm re-reading the Complete TWG and think that I've read it too many times now to re-read it again. I have the entire freaking thing memorized! I'd like to go to the library and see if they have anything on the subject, but with the two kids in tow, it's easier if I have some specifics that I'm looking for. We are just now realizing the extent of the work we are going to have to do on the new house, so we need to be SAVING! Any suggestions for reading?

    does your local library have a web site? mine does and if i ever get the time i will get books and have them waiting for pickup. this could save you time and make it easier

    Miserly Moms is a very good one to read, I agree.

    I looked in my library for the Complete TWG and they don't have it. Could you tell me who the author is, I'll have to check another library, I'd like to read it--I'm sure I could get some good info.

    Gina, it's Amy Dacyzyn and I'm not sure of the spelling.

    Amy, look for Bonnie McCullough's Budget book, and her Totally Organized and her other one on organization. Heck, just read anything by Bonnie. She has a marvellous one on getting kids to do their chores and have fun at it.

    I'm pretty sure you'd like Bonnie if you haven't already discovered her Amy.

    OK next

    Mary Hunt's best of the Cheapskate Monthly and her other books on budgeting and finance.

    Surviving without a paycheck I think is the title of another favourite of mine. Can't remember the author.

    Andy Dappen wrote a couple of extreme tightwad books. Love them. His stuff is even a bit tighter than the tightwad gazette.
