  • Tried and true

    We've used the tightwad gazette for years for good money-saving ideas, recipes, and general advice for around the home. My daughter asked for our copy after she got married. After a while, we found that we couldn't be without a copy ourselves; hence we made our purchase and are delighted. Thanks again.

    Great classic on being frugal. Some ideas are timeless. Some things such as how to save on phone bills are obsolete, but still great info to glean.

  • Appropriate

    Excellent compilation of a newsletter from the 1990's. Practical, sometimes funny advice on how to "tighten the belt" and save $$.
