This review is from: Cheap Talk with the Frugal Friends: Over 600 Tips, Tricks, and Creative Ideas for Saving Money (Paperback)

I just finished reading this book and love it! The friendly writing and creative ideas are unmatched. I feel like I can reduce our overspending and finally live comfortably within our means. The "Frugal Friends" has given me the confidence AND the practical ideas I can use everyday of how to get our family finances under control. I've made a "frugal conversion" and am enjoying using all their tips and telling everyone about them. We're going to take the money we save and buy a new van for family trips. I highly recommend this book for anyone whether single, retired, or a bustling family. It's great.

This review is from: Cheap Talk with the Frugal Friends: Over 600 Tips, Tricks, and Creative Ideas for Saving Money (Paperback)

I was looknig for tips on saving money and found mostly common sense items and a few downright tacky suggestions. You can be frugal without being tacky. While some of the ideas are great for people with a lot of time on their hands, time is money also and if it takes you all day to make homemade fruit snacks, what are you really saving?

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful, but lacking.
I found this book quite useful and helpful in certain respects, but in some areas, I would question the practicality and truthfulness of the authors' claims. Read more
