Default Re: Re-reading Tightwad Gazette

I don't have the book in front of me. While browsing in my local library I came across it and sat down to skim thru it (I did read the three volumes when they came out).

She was awesome then and she is still awesome! The thing I liked about her was how she broke everything down into units or cost per use, etc. She even gave different combinations of savings for comparison. If I remember correctly, she didn't even coupon!

Could you imagine how much more effective (silly word, given her accomplishments) she would have been if she had freecycle, freebies from the internet and coupons and rebates? Mindboggling!

And people still say it can't be done. Humpf!
