America's Cheapest Family Gets You Right on the Money: Your Guide to Living Better, Spending Less, and Cashing in on Your Dreams
Amazon Price: $7.07 (as of 02/16/2012)![]()
There's no doubt that today's families can use some help in balancing the household finances, and the Economides family, headed by a former ad sales exec and his homemaker wife, deliver the goods here. To an extreme. As founders of the Home Economiser newsletter, the couple offers plenty of helpful tips on shopping and menu planning, saving, reducing debt, and cutting back on utilities. Most of Middle America, however, will probably find their habits overly harsh. Take, for instance, their shopping routine: they make one monthly trip to the grocery store, which takes up to five hours but costs them only $350.

- I LOVE the Tightwad Gazette! I'm surprised it's not talked about more. I wouldn't do everything in those books, but it does give you ideas. And it's good to know, for example, that going to bed early to save electricity can backfire if it produces twins...

- Great tips. I especially like the one about not buying things just because they're on sale or you have a coupon. An item you don't need at half price is still an item you don't need.
