5.0 out of 5 stars The title speaks truth..., May 11, 2002

By	Pamela A. Cass "Book Queen" (Columbus Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent book full of interesting ideas. You not only learn circumstances of being "cheap" but also how to adapt your own ideas to cut expenses.

This seems to be good for those who entertain, and those who want to do catering and need some ideas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Packed with great ideas!, May 25, 1999

By A Customer

A book for people who want to entertain with efficiency, shortcuts, and bargains. Many good suggestions, especially for unique gatherings and kids' parties and games. I loved her instructions for making pi�atas. Includes resources for where to buy items and easy recipes.
