Recently, I have been researching books about frugality. “America’s Cheapest Family” was amoung the list of books I checked out for research from the Friendswood Public Library. I am trying to keep a list of the books I read so I can find them quickly if I want to read them again.

Another book on the subject worth reading is “Cut Your Bills in Half” by the editors of Rodale Books; Copyright 1989. If you recall, frugality was necessary back in the eighties. The national economy is like a roller coaster.

“Thrifty” by Marjorie Harris; copyright 2010; published by the House of Anansi Press Inc. There is a lengthy chapter about frugal gardening. If I recall correctly, Marjorie Harris is an editor for a well known gardening margazine. Sorry, I cannot remember the name of the magazine at this time.

These books contain detailed information about saving money and living the frugal life style. With the economy going down hill, it is wise to learn the art of frugal spending and finding ways of lowering the cost of everyday expenses.

Keep up the great work!

I think your points are very valid and sensible –but is the book realy worth buying -didn’t you just hit the main points and aren’t they the same points in all of these books? Just asking as you seem to be the expert on this. Plus shopping only monthly seems extreme to me –no fresh fruit or veg–Gracey
