Pretty good roundup of tips for those serious about cutting costs
1 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
Trent's book is good for people serious about using many small changes to make a big difference in their monthly budget. It is especially helpful for people who think they cannot squeeze a dime out of their monthly expenses, because many of the tips are very small things that save pennies or a few dollars a month. Over time and in quantity they add up to thousands of dollars. A lot of these take some serious time, but the book is honest about that, and people who need to save money should get used to the idea that it takes time to keep money in the bank.
I would buy this book for someone new to frugality who wants a light, up-to-date read that gets to the point - no spending several chapters developing a frugal philosophy. Such a person might be frightened away by the Complete Tightwad Gazette or Your Money or Your Life. I wouldn't buy it for someone experienced with frugality.

Groundbreaking? No. Good book? Certainly.
15 April 2009
Format:Paperback
What the one-star reviews seem to say is that this book only offers tips that are available elsewhere. That's true.
But if a book needs to have completely new information to be worth reading, then practically every book on cooking, marketing, small business, investing, fitness, taxation, self-improvement, etc would be a waste of time and money. *All* of that information is available for free somewhere on the web.
365 Ways to Live Cheap won't be life changing, but if you read it with an open mind you should easily be able to pick up a handful of tips worth trying--each of which would likely recover the $7 the book cost.

All the best tips in one place
5 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
The Simple Dollar has been one of my favorite blogs for a very long time and over the years Trent has shared so many great tips it's great to see some of the best ones in one place. I enjoyed reading through the 365 Ways to Live Cheap: Your Everyday Guide to Saving Money it's a quick read and afterwards it's great to have on the desk or coffee table to pick up any time for a refreshing tip.
While I will say that many of the tips I've read before on the blog, I think this is a great addition to the bookstore shelves for those who don't follow The Simple Dollar. Every day, millions of people wander aimlessly through life spending money and surviving from paycheck to paycheck. A small $7.95 investment now can save them so much money later on.
This book also makes a great gift for anyone who is in need of a little financial makeover, don't let it's small size fool you - it's packed with lots of great information.
