This book discusses how to save in a wide range of purchases -- from bakery items to cars to airline tickets to ceiling fans. Some of the advice is basic (Revlon cosmetics are less expensive at K-Mart) to some things one really might not know (the time to buy audio equipment is between January and April).

This book is full of 1-800 numbers for catalogs and other information. I would have liked some website addresses, but the book was published in 1996 -- can't have everything!

The best thing about this book is that I DIDN'T pay retail -- I picked it up for $3.99. I don't think the author had THAT in mind when he said we could save 20% to 80% on everything we buy...

I have enjoyed this author's health books, and he remains right on track with Never Pay Retail, offering good, anyone-can-use tips written in a sprite and entertaining style. Some tips are great; others are common sense, but you CAN save money -- and enjoy reading how to do it.

pearls of wisdom, along with some tried-and-true tips that come as no surprise, make this book a wise investment. some good writing to boot!

Although I have'nt read the entire book it did have great ideas on how to save a lot on items such as furniture, carpeting, and clothing. Some ideas that the book has I already knew, but the rest were well worth the cost of the book.
