Half-Price Living
I’m reading Half-Price Living, a new book from Moody Publishers by a Christian author named Ellie McKay (www.elliekay.com). The book is super practical and has good advice about living on one income. She has five kids, too! Her website has good links to coupon and saving money sites.
A friend has recommended I check out The Complete Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn. The friend who suggested it said “some of her suggestions are a little ‘out there’, and I would never consider them (like not using my dryer because it saves $179 a year), but most of her suggestions are really good and practical. She, in essence, went from a spend-thrift to a tightwad in order to live in a farm house in Connecticut. You might enjoy it.” I told her I’d check it out from the library!

I love Tightwad Gazette. Ultimately, it's what has lead me to your website, as it started me on the road to frugality. Get The Complete Tightwad Gazette, as it has all three editions published in one volume. Fun stuff!
