    Default Book Review - Saving Money Any Way You Can

    I got this book, by Mike Yorkey, out of the library last week. I really enjoyed it. I've been a little disappointed with the frugal reading I've been doing lately, but I really enjoyed this one. It had some of the same old tips, but there were a lot of good ideas and I thought it was very well written. I recommend this to anyone who hasn't read it and is looking for some summer frugal reading.

    I have this book in my personal "Frugal Libray" and love it! Right now I am rereading " 1001 Bright Ideas To Stretch Your Dollars, Pinch Your Pennies, Hoard Your Quarters, And Collar Your Dollars" by Cynthia Yates and "The Complete Guide to Creative Gift Giving" by the same author. I have both of these books and refer to them often!

    Amy I liked the book as well, but its not one I would go out and purchase. I would just borrow it from the library and if I wanted to read it over again, I'd still only use the library to get the book.

    I'm with you, I'm finding most books on frugality are pretty much the same thing. There hasn't been much written thats new and I would think thats probably because once much of it has been said, there isn't much new to say about frugality.

    Debbie, I'm going to see if I can get those books at the library. The first one sounds interesting.
