    Default Good books on Frugal Living?

    Even though I'm a serious Frugalista, I have people asking all the time "how do you DO that?" (mainly, couponing gets me these questions)
    Have you read any great books on the subject of Frugal Living and/or Couponing?

    Here are a few that I found at the Library a couple of days ago and have already finished:

    How To Save Money Everyday (by Ellie Kay)
    America's Cheapest Family (by Steve and Annette Economides)
    Frugal Families (by Jonni McCoy)

    Also, I've borrowed these, but haven't read them yet:
    Everyday Cheapskate's Greatest Tips (by Mary Hunt)
    Saving Money with the Tightwad Twins (by Ann and Susan Fox)

    Looking forward to getting some great titles. TIA.

    ETA: Financial - anything by Dave Ramsey. I've worked his plan since he started in the mid-90s and HIGHLY recommend it. Nothing beats the feeling of being debt free!!

    I love the 1st three that you mentioned. I have read and personally recommend them all the time.

    Those are great ones too. I read Tightwad Gazette(s) years ago. I also love the newsletter and blog at Living on a Dime. They have a great cookbook too. It's called Not Just Beans. I ordered several for add ons to Christmas gifts a couple years ago. They were a big hit.

    I did that too! I think they were having a big 'clean out the garage' sale, so I bought 3 of them.

    Default Tightwad Gazette

    I am devouring the Tigthwad Gazette series of books by Amy Dacyczyn, borrowed from the library (of course).

    I HIGHLY recommend. HIGHLY.

    Borrow them now. Take notes.
