    Default I need ideas...

    I'm off to the library today.
    I need ideas for good books to check into!
    Anything frugal, couponing/rebating, money saving, homesteading, toddlers, crafts... even something new and exciting for me to learn about!
    Help!

    The tightwad gazette is the bible of frugality! I love it! There are three volumes to enjoy

    I also enjoy checking out magazines. That way, I can read some small articles to keep up on current events.

    Enjoy the library

    I just made a list of 3 books that profoundly changed my life in another thread.

    Here is the thread:

    Three books that changed my life

    Also try to find some books on gardening. There are some tremendous books out there that have tons of information in them. If your interested in a specific craft, look for books on that particular craft. I love bringing quilting books home because they have so many neat ideas.
