1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't save me any money, 1 Oct 2006
This review is from: Mr Thrifty's How to Save Money on Absolutely Everything (Paperback)
Being rather frugal myself, I purchased this book, hoping to live life even more economically than I already do.
On the early pages the book states how it will soon save you at least the cost of the book, in your more thrifty lifestyle (unless you are reading the book in the shop, or borrowed it from a library!). But this has not turned out to be the case for me.
There are some valid points in the book, but I find the applicable ones, which could potentially save me money, are impractical. For example, details are given of a website that offers lots of freebies. However, this website bombarded me with lots of unwanted emails once I signed up, and I have yet to take advantage of any of the offers there.
There are also some tips that I strongly disagree with in the book. It advises against paying any money into a pension for instance, and suggests alternatives as to where one could invest the money. But I do not agree with this. It even makes a derogatory statement about my intelligence for thinking this way!
Any real money saving tips for me were just a pure matter of common sense, which we should all have an ounce or two of (this supposedly being a common sense book!)

2.0 out of 5 stars save the cover price! - don't buy it, 8 Nov 2009
By Martin Stevens - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mr Thrifty's How to Save Money on Absolutely Everything (Paperback)
Rubbish! The author seems to have written this book for people who don't need to make savings. Alongside some penny-pinching tips like reading newspapers provided in public places, she offers irrelevant advice for most of us, such as joining a private library (a mere £100), hiring a personal shopper, making use of a Harvey Nichols store card, having a pair of socks tailor-made (£15)or bespoke shoes, a snip at a little under £400! Get real! This is spending a lot to save a little and will not help those on a low budget struggling to meet day to day costs.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must - buy it now, 24 Nov 2004
This review is from: Mr Thrifty's How to Save Money on Absolutely Everything (Paperback)
As a former student I always thought myself to be quite good at scouting out the odd bargain every now and again. Then I bought this book and discovered my bargain hunting was small time compared with the tips in this book.

There are tips related to almost everything with some very usefull links to extra material online. Buy this book and you'll get your money back even if you only follow a few tips here.
