I don't have a copy, but the title is so interesting -- what IS it?
XOXO, Libbie

Sprry, but I can't find mine in the garage sale stuff. I sold a bunch of books on half.com back before Christmas, so perhaps it sold then. If I find it as I'm sorting, though, I'll let you know.
I do have 2 Dave Ramsey books (hardback) and a paperback copy of "Tiptionary" by Mary Hunt of Cheapskate Monthly fame, if you want them. Let me know. All 3 are very good.

Tightwad gazettes are wonderful. I have the complete set (3 books) unless you are talking about the newsletters. but I am keeping them. I will stay on the lookout though. They are wonderful..
Libbie..they were written by a mom with lots of kids all tips on being frugal..great ideas...some a little further than I would go, but alot I use daily..or should..or wish I did. If I ever start needing to cut back or feel really broke I get those books back out and they help me figure things out. Lots of gift ideas, fun ideas for things to do cheap and recycling fun too. I hope you find some ashley!!

Hey Jenny, check book 1 or 2 for a sidewalk chalk recipe. That was from me!

So how do you make the sidewalk chalk? My daughter goes crazy with it and runs out fairly quickly! LOL
The end will justify the pain it took to get us here. |

If you don't want the combined volumes of the book called The Complete Tightwad Gazette and instead go for the indidual volumes (I,II, and III) you can get used copies of them for very cheap at www.amazon.com plus shipping.
I never owned a copy of any of the volumes or the combined three volumes...I checked mine out from the library. Books like it saved me when I first moved out on my own and it was only me and my cat. I practically lived off of the Univeral Casserole recipe a good deal of the time!
Another book our library had that I liked was called I believe Frugal Luxuries.
