On a visit to the library I came across Thrifty Ways for Modern Days by Martin Lewis, a Money Saving Expert. The book looks interesting, especially for those new to the idea of saving money. Here's the contents:
What is Old-Style Money Saving?
Cutting Your Bills without Cutting Back
Do you Spend More than you Earn?
Chapter 1: Cleaning
Chapter 2: Shopping - What to Buy and How to Reuse it
Chapter 3: Clothes and Shoes
Chapter 4: Home Maintenance and DIY
Chapter 5: The Good Life - Grow Your Own
Chapter 6: Presents and Home-made Gifts
Chapter 7: Christmas, Weddings and Other Occasions
Chapter 8: The Old-Style Recipe Book
The book is a complilation of hints from http://moneysavingexpert.com. The website looks jolly interesting too. It's British based and the forums have thousands of posts. I'll add this link to the blog links on the right. This particular book (Lewis has written a couple of others as well) came from the hints shared in the 'Money Saving Old-Style' section of the forums. This particular board was started when older members of the forums wanted to share their wisdom with the younger generation. Although the discussion that sparked this topic off was could we live like during WWII, it isn't all old-fashion stuff, it includes thinks like breadmakers and slowcookers for example. So plenty of ideas to be got from here. Enjoy!
