1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't save me any money, 1 Oct 2006
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!)

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must - buy it now, 24 Nov 2004
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars the only thrifty tip book for UK readers, 29 May 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: "Mr. Thrifty's" How to Save Money on Absolutely Everything (Paperback)
By far the most read book I have ever had. A wealth of information on buying cheaply and improvising. Never before has so many tips come in so handy. Definately for us British, not USA slant which is no good over here. So many things are irelevant with other similar books by american authors
