365 Ways to Live Cheap

My kids have been on a Boxcar Children kick lately. I read the first book to them a couple of months ago and they are now fascinated with these creative and resourceful kids. This week we listened to The Yellow House Mystery (Book 3). And, of course, they loved it. My son is also reading Blue Bay Mystery (Book 6) for his homework every day. And, I read a frugal living book this week that a friend loaned to me and learned some great tips for saving money.


This little book of frugal tips and tricks is filled with money saving strategies and techniques that can save both money and time. It is a comprehensive book that includes advice on areas such as cars, clutter, health, and groceries. And, the topics are organized in a logical manner allowing the reader to skip around the book to find what is most beneficial, when needed.

Trent Hamm is also the author of The Simple Dollar, a financial blog offering practical advice for average people. If you are a long time reader of Trent’s blog, you may find that many of these tips can be found there. However, it is nice to have it all in one place as a reference that is categorized for easy use.

This book is perfect for those just starting out in frugal living. The tips are practical and reasonable. And, even a seasoned frugal girl like myself, learned some new tips. I would recommend this book particularly to someone that needs to cut expenses quickly or to someone who is transitioning from a two income family to a one income family. A great resource for pinching pennies without sacrificing quality of life!
