Friendly, Frugal AND Fun!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

Let me start by saying I was a bit hesitant to spend money on a book about saving money. Once I received the book I quickly realized how much money I would soon save by making this small investment. Starting off the new year by reading this book is a great way to get yourself and family on track for success. Amy outlines fun, thoughtful and healthy ways to get your mundane daily cleaning tasks accomplished, prepare meals for yourself and family and still celebrate holidays while creating new traditions.

This is not a book about how to "live without," but instead about how to have it all maybe just in a roundabout way. She and her family live life to the fullest and have a lot of fun along the way!

I have been an avid reader of Amy's blog (momadvice.com) for years and I wondered if I would actually find any new information in the book. I did. A lot. Plus unlike a daily blog where I might read a five minute post on a single topic, I was able instead to sit and savor full chapters with Amy's wonderful ideas and stories of what has worked for her (or hasn't!) over the years.

Some of the recipes in the book were ones I have seen (and made) from her website---however this was actually one of my favorite parts of this book. I bought "The Good Life for Less" thinking I would read it and then give it to my sister to read. After about two chapters and many pages flagged by me I got to the recipes. So many of her best (and my favorites now!) were there--Pot Roast Italiano, Bow Ties with Sausage Tomatoes and Cream, Homemade Chai Mix, Rosemary Ranch Chicken Kabobs---I quickly realized this book will become a resource book for me that I will use for years to come. I have gone online so many times to look up these recipes or printed them and not put them somewhere where I could find them. Now I have them all in one place! And it looks like my sister will get her own copy as well.

This would be an excellent book for a new college grad, newlywed or a new mom. Amy's personal stories of her own trials of going from a complete non-cook to a well-respected domestic blogger as well as her struggles and success of getting out of debt are a true inspiration. You relate to her as a friend. She isn't "preachy" in her advice or delivery---she is just a friend chatting over a cup of coffee. I walked away from this book WANTING to create a budget, set my meals for a month, spend less at the grocery store and eat better. I might even try and make some of my own cleaning products! GREAT BOOK, GREAT ADVICE! Buy two or three copies today---you will want to share the ideas (but not YOUR book!) with a friend over coffee!!

A Resource I Use Again and Again

This book has been invaluable to me. Many of the recipes within it I have reviewed again and again and have added them to my family menu planning. Fabulous book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have purchased many books on frugality in the past 20 years. My favorites will always be The Tightwad Gazette series. This book was a good read. I have enjoyed several recipes out of it. I can;t say that I really learned anything new but it was a nice refresher on being frugal. I try to give myself a frugality checkup every year by rereading some favorite books on the subject. I will be keeping this book for my frugality library.

Lovely foundation for frugal living with heart

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 26, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is absolutely a wonderful way to either introduce yourself to or remind yourself of great ways to live a good life while living frugally. Amy offers good advice from the heart. Amy lives this way and is such a wonderful example for her friends and readers when it comes to staying true to your beliefs and ideals. I've enjoyed reading her blog for years and now am so happy to have her words of advice & encouragement at my fingertips in book form, not to mention the convenience of having these great recipes in a collection. Any recipe she has developed is a sure-thing with my family!

Great tips, but you can find most of them for free on her website

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

I read this book straight through when I ordered it on my kindle, and I was so excited to transform my life. There were great tips and recipes, and I couldn't wait to try them out. So I went to her website to see if she had a blog I could subscribe to or if she had more tips. I soon figured out that most of her book was on her website. I was very disappointed that I spent $10 on a book when I could get most of the information for free. It seemed a little odd considering the point of the book is to learn how to spend less.

The more I read it the more I like her ideas, not only for budgeting but for cooking too. She includes lots of recipes to make your own sauces, dry mixes and other delicious meals.
