This book was quite helpful to me. I have lived for many years, as a lot of people do pay check to pay check. I have within the last several years really become frugal with my money. Changing some of my habits, making out menus for the week. I have cut back drastically on going out for lunch while at work. I was amazed at how much money this saved. Sitting down and writing out all my bills and all of the things I bought during the week really made me take a hard look at what I was spending and what I was spending it on. Before I started doing this I would always be short of money before payday.The tips in this book really gave me some more great ideas that I never thought of to living on a shoestring budget. I love the websites that the author shares and I am going to start using them right away.Two years in a row now I have saved a ton of money by making birthday and Christmas presents instead of buying them. I started buying some things in larger quantities, like ground turkey or chicken breasts and breaking them down into plastic freezer bags. The last large bag of chicken breasts that I bought, I ended up with 8 smaller bags and it lasted me a month.I love the ideas of fun things to do for cheap in the book. Barbara Steinoff Schneider has really won me over with this book.
