I found it somewhat ironic that you need to spend $20 to learn how to save $20, but this is a cute wee book and there is no doubt it will look good on your coffee table. Probably best as a gift rather than an investment for yourself if you have a spending issue. It does have some interesting things to ponder, tips etc, and it is written in an easy to read style with an attractive cover and layout.
A wonderful little book to remind us all the things that we probably already know to do to save money. I found it ideal for someone moving out of home wanting a few tips on how to save money.
Just finished this book, read from cover to cover in half a day. Very easy to read, with some practical, common sense tips on how to save money. I particularly liked the section about cleaning - using household ingredients rather than expensive commercial cleaners. Recommended.
