Review
"There are a lot of ideas you already know in this book, but at the price, even if you get just a couple of new hints, it could be helpful. Since we know how well our New Year's resolutions about dieting are going to work out, we might as well resolve to watch our pennies and become more frugal in 2009." —Pasadena Star News, San Gabriel Valley Tribune, Whittier Daily News

Understated Title,
By Liz Ellerbe (Fresno, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Frugal Senior: Hundreds of Creative Ways to Stretch a Dollar! (The Best Half of Life) (Paperback)
And I thought I knew it all. Just glancing through this book at the library, I decided to buy it. It's taught me more about phone techniques for all the services than the phone book does. The scope of the book is so vast I'll leave it to buyers to discover.
I'm recommending it to quite a few people since it's the best advice book I've seen yet on just about everything, including subjects I didn't know I needed.
