Tightwad Gazette III by Amy Dacyczyn (1997, Paperback)

I was excited by getting the book, and it arrived quickly and in good condition, but the book itself is a bit hard to read. Also the suggestions in there seem a bit outdated. Did not live up to my expectations.

Lots of great tips for cutting the houhold budget. The author has a great sense of humor and the book is fun.

Very informative and fun to read! I've been getting into recycling, re-purposing and have gleened some great info from these books.

Did you ever realize how much money you waste on the little things in life? Not just on fad clothing and eating meals out so much, but on things like wrapping paper--when you could use a color comics section instead? Amy Dacyczyn's books of money-saving tips can save you thousands of dollars every year for the rest of your life. They describe how to save on food, clothing, repairs, presents, kid's parties, etc. Did you know that you only need to use a pea-sized ball of toothbrush when you brush? Amy & her husband raised six kids using these instructions, so they must work.
Read this and her other books!!!

I absolutely love the books in this series. I think every mother who wished to stay home to raise her kids should own this series. It gives recipes and wonderful advice on ways to cut corners and save money. I give this series 10+++ stars.
