1.0 out of 5 stars Pushing others newsletters/books, September 23, 2004
By C. Stripe "ins biller" (Grover Hill, OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I felt all this book offered were names, addresses, telephone numbers of other writers. This book didn't supply any means of saving money, only what newletter to purchase ($), what book to purchase ($). Nothing was beneficial and I am very glad I purchased this as a used item and not new.

4.0 out of 5 stars Are You Saving Money?, March 14, 2005
Larry Roth not only gives you down-to-earth advice on how to save money but how to implement that into living a very productive life. Not everyone knows the real secrets to saving money but Larry has been able to get his point across in a way that inspires you to make a commitment to bettering your own life. I don't belive in living cheap. I much prefer the term frugal, but whatever you call it, it is a way for those who are not rich to live well beyond their means. Take my advice, this is a good starting point in your quest to start saving money.

3.0 out of 5 stars Varied Collection, December 8, 2005
By Erika Mitchell (E. Calais, VT USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This book is a collection of articles from Roth's frugality newsletter, Living Cheap News. The articles are collated by subject area, covering such topics as philosophy of frugality, real estate, automobiles, entertainment, food, coupons, clothing, travel, holidays, jobs, and retirement. Many of the articles close with a resources section that may include toll-free hotlines, contact information for specialized businesses mentioned in the article, and short book reviews. At the back of the book is a section entitled "Additional Resources," which includes many more of such phone numbers and reviews.

This isn't a bad collection of articles on frugality, but it also isn't terribly exciting. If it's your first book on frugality, it may give you direction, but for those who have read other books on the topic, there isn't a lot that's new here. Also, since this is a collection of articles originally published at different times, there is a bit of repetition. The best feature of the book is the resources, which can point you to more detailed information about specific topics. Unfortunately, there is no index, so if you find something useful, you had better put a bookmark in, because the information may not be easy to find again later.
