5.0 out of 5 stars Makes you feel in control in today's scary market place!, December 7, 2003

By A Customer

This book is so readable and yet covers astonishing detail about many product types and market factors; when you're done, you'll feel you "own" strategies for timing your shopping and using your money to best advantage. It provides a framework for taking control; you'll no longer wonder whether you're being victimized by sharp marketing or overwhelmed by advertising and claim, or whether a "good deal" really is. As the title promises, you'll become more "savvy" no matter how much you thought you knew about shopping for and using goods and services.
Probably worth hundreds of times its value in savings!
