Review: Lots of Good, Common Sense Ideas that Will Save You $$
Rating: 5 out of 5

A lot of the material in this book is not rocket science, to me most of it is common sense, but I'm fairly certain you will find several gems in this guide that (a) you didn't know about it or didn't realize it, or (b) you may have known about it, but either didn't remember to use the tip in your walk of life.  The author gets a tip of the hat from me for compiling the list together, as reading through it made me think a little bit about how I spend my cash - the ironic thing to me is I read this book while on a plane to Las Vegas where I certainly was able to put some of the action items into motion!One thing I do like about this book is for the majority of the tips, if you sit back and quantify for example to order or not a $1.99 soft drink or iced tea with your lunch each work day - while $1.99 (plus tax) may not seem that much at the time, if you cut that out and ordered water you would save about $475 or more in one year alone.  That's real money.  Combine just one or two other tips from this book and you could save $1,000 in a year easily.I see from some reviews there are some dings for bad formatting of the Kindle version.  It's not 100% perfect, but it's not a bunch of glaring errors that annoy me.  I originally picked this up for free during a Kindle promotion and as a I type this review I see it is still free: get it now while you can, but even if the author starts charging a few bucks for it I believe it would be well worth it and pay for itself if you just implement one of the ideas from this book.
