I'm glad I pinched my penny and bought this book used at a major discount, because it was a major disappointment. I could have written the book. Common sense ideas on how to save money, but nothing I didn't already know.

As an avid coupon clipper, I was excited by the prospect of learning new techniques to trim my budget even more. Unfortunately, this book is so rudimentary that you'd have to be a five year-old not to already know all about it's secret "tips".

This book reads like a high school paper. It is filled with generalities that are so unhelpful it's laughable. Shop at consignment stores and the Goodwill for bargains. Gee, why didn't I think of that? Clip grocery store coupons and buy the item when it's on sale for a double savings -- what a groundbreaking idea.

Here's my big tip for anyone thinking of buying this miserable pamphlet trying to pass itself off as a genuine book -- you can save money by not buying it.
