I went to the library to pick up "Tightwad Gazette" and I saw this book "America's Cheapest Family" on the shelf and got it too. America's Cheapest Family Gets You Right on the Money is about how this family saves $$$. You can start using the tips right away. For example, they shop for groceries at Costco only once a month and stock everything in a stand alone freezer. And the mom plans a month's worth of meals.
