Product Description

Product Description

As the credit crunch becomes a recession and rising energy prices take their toll on our finances, many of us have little choice but to cut back our spending. But life is for living, so why should budgeting mean a miserable existence? "The Frugal Life: How to Spend Less and Live More" will show readers how to save money by taking control of their finances and adopting a simpler approach to life. Readers will learn they don't have to overspend to enjoy themselves or impress friends. Instead they will discover the pleasures of saving by becoming a frugal shopper, cutting energy and transport bills, growing vegetables and eating wild food, entertaining themselves and their children for free, and enjoying Christmas without debts. In addition it shows readers how to set a budget, cope with redundancy and cultivate a frugal nest egg for the future. Never before has a book on frugal living covered such a wide range of subjects in such detail. What's more, the author has tried and tested many of these ideas herself. "The Frugal Life: How to Spend Less and Live More" will appeal to readers of many age groups and demographics, from the struggling student and first jobber, to families and pensioners getting used to a smaller budget - anyone trying to live life for less.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Frugal Life, 2 Jul 2009
By Grahame Mackenzie - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A bit disappointed, having read previous reviews in the press. Recently
redundant, I was hoping for more than just common sense and found that I'd
already covered just about everything already (other than preparing a
freshly shot rabbit for dinner, that is!). I found the writing style amusing though and it is quite a good long read but I think that anyone who has managed to live beyond their teens could be frugal by not buying the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Frugal Life, 15 May 2009
By P. G. Hunt - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent book, well written and expertly edited to give a concises set of pointers to better manage your money. It's fun and an easy read, also the advice it contains, actually works in the real world. A total must for anyone trying to save a few pennies without being borring and having no social life. Give it a go, I did.
