The Complete Tightwad  Gazette

Amazon.com Review

Though tightwad seems like a derogatory term, author Amy Dacyczyn wants to assure you that it’s okay to be a penny-pincher. This self-styled “Frugal Zealot” wrote and published The Tightwad Gazette for over six years to spread the frugal gospel. Each issue contained tips from her personal experience and from her many readers. The wealth of information contained in all these issues has been compiled into one volume for the first time. You’ll find literally thousands of ideas for saving money, from the simple or practical to the difficult or bizarre. On the simple, practical side, Dacyczyn advises would-be tightwads to keep track of price trends at several stores in a “price book” and to buy in bulk when prices are low. Other, stranger offerings include tips for turning margarine-tub lids into playing-card holders, old credit cards into guitar picks, and six-pack rings into a hammock or volleyball net.

New Year’s Savings Resolutions

Posted by Save Money Frugal Tips

As the New Year begins, many people struggling in today’s economy may be making New Year’s resolutions that have to do with finances. While some are raring up to attack credit card or other debt, others vow to find ways to make their paychecks stretch further.

According to some sources, after weight loss and quitting smoking, money management and savings goals top the New Year’s resolution list.

There are some small yet significant changes you can make to make the new year better financially. In January, many companies allow you to change your 401k or retirement plans. Maximize your money by putting in as much as the company matches, or even more. Start a saving’s account and put money in it every paycheck before using money for anything else. Even if it is just $5.00 every two weeks, you will be ahead of the game.

More savings tips and tricks will always show up on this blog and the Save Money Frugal Tips website.

Tightwad Gazette

Posted by Save Money Frugal Tips

The Complete Tightwad’s Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn is the ultimate guide to saving money and living a frugal lifestyle. It is a fat paperback that is a compilation of Amy’s famous newsletter from the past. Since it is arranged in newsletter style, it would be a bit difficult to find information you are looking for if not for the awesome index that makes it easy.

But it is not the type of book to just look up tips in and then put aside. I’ve read through the Tightwad’s Gazette multiple times, taking copious notes and learning so many tips on how to save more money. It is entertaining as well as informative.
