    Default WHAT FRUGAL BOOKS DO YOU OWN?

    Curious what frugal books are in your home library. I have a few that I read and re-read all the time. They are a great reference guides to me and they are great for reference for newsletter I write monthly for family and friends.

    as well as 5 Gooseberry Patch books for fall and the holidays *

    Favorites of Fall
    I love Gooseberry Patch!!!!

    *(really good)
    I also have probably 75 cookbooks!!! I need to get rid of many of them.
    Almost all of these books came from yardsales or Half Price Books, so I didn't spend a lot.
    WHAT DO YOU HAVE?? Any great ones that I have missed??

    I don't plan on buying any, but I made a list ob listsofbests.com of most of the books in the "Frugal Books" link above and have started working my way through those at the library. I've seen the Heloise ones at the library and they seemed worth looking at, I think I may add them to the list.

    I have the TMMO and TMMO Workbook and Suze Ormans' The Road to Wealth books, to me it's all I need to read to keep me motivated.

    I had no idea there were so many.

    I've had the Tightwad ones for years. These are not as specifically frugal, but "Back to Basics" and "Pearls of Country Wisdom."

    I don't have any that I bought, I borrow them from the library. TWG is one of the one's I borrow regularly to refresh ideas.
