'The Art of Frugality' by Wendi Meredith is a 202-page book.
This book is not spread sheets, but an easy-to-follow guideline for stretching your money.
An excerpt from the beginning will give you a clear understanding........
"First let me tell you what this book is not about. It is not about investing time and energy in senseless activities that will never pay off long term. I don't reuse my aluminum foil. I don't use towels more than once before laundering. I don't wash Ziploc bags or plastic cups. I don't reuse coffee filters, envelopes or make liquid soap out of soap slivers. I don't add water to my hair spray. I don't cut my own hair. I don't buy my clothes at yard sales or make them out of feed sacks."
Fourteen chapters encompass a frugal, balanced lifestyle:
- The Art of Frugality
- Formulating a Budget And Getting Out of Debt
- Eat To Save Money
- Couponing
- The Art of Frugal Gifting
- Plan Ahead
- Traveling
- Teach Your Children
- Pass It On

This book is not rocket science or brain surgery, but rather a guide to build a stronger financial foundation.
