How to Save Money at Home: A Room-by-Room Guide to Cut Spending
Love this book for many reasons. Although we already do a large majority of the things mentioned there are some we are lacking on: tools used outside and lawn mower maintenance.
Has charts of when to buy seasonal fruit and when to buy things on sale: month by month.
Has a portion on composting and gardening and how to get rid of clutter. Very well laid out.
A KEEPER!

Found this book to way more useful and practical than many other books I have read. Had some good tips in it that I hadn't thought of or tried out before. Glad to hear my husband and I are already living out many of her ideas. We aren't crazy after all! :)

Thank goodness this book was free. Most of the information in this book is complete common sense. Luckily it was a quick read so I didn't waste too much time.

Frugal living tips at it's finest

I came across this book while I was searching for craft and how-to books. I thought oh it's free I'll give it a shot. A lot of books like this that I find aren't very helpful or they repeat themselves and are very short. This book was awesome. She had a lot of great ideas I have never heard of like having a weekly budget and at the end of the month of you are under budget, you can place the excess in your savings account. That way you can have money towards debt.
I am impressed by this book and plan on using it as reference in the future.

This was a pretty useful book, with a lot of good ideas. I definitely think that if I tried to do what this lady does to save money, I'd run out of emotional steam really fast. I think she goes a little overboard (for example, turning off the water in the shower while lathering your shampoo). I did get some useful tips though and I like the mindset of trying to save money (and limit waste).

Lots of good information

There are some links to good resources to get items free or to save you money. Some of the ideas are a bit excessive for me but there were still quite a few good ideas.

Very little new or valuable info for me in several chapters, but I found some inspiration and useful tips for decreasing waste and making more foods, cleaners, etc from scratch (one of my goals for 2018).

This book is best suited to young adults - people who are just starting out on their own and need some solid guidance on frugal living. For someone who has been “adulting” for long, there wasn’t anything new, but for the right audience, this is a great book.

Fun & Frugal

I loved all the tips on living frugally. It was refreshing that the author shows how living frugally can be fun & not a chore!

While this was written and organized fairly well, save your money and try to get it free on amazon. If you are already a money saver this won't be giving you many, if at all, new tips, but if you're a young adult or someone newly attempting some money saving strategies (and haven't acquired any yet), give this book a try. Do check out the author's many links for further suggestions that she has peppered throughout the book.

This was one of the better information books I have read. The writing style was clear and easy to understand. There wasn't a lot of extra fluff, either. I loved how the author gave real tips, including websites for other place to find information and recipes in the book for homemade cleaners etc.

I got this as a Freebie from Amazon. It was very basic. No new info for me!

[Alison · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book had some good tips. I am already doing the majority of the good tips so it didn't help all that much. There are a few new things I will try.
