Descriptive words such as “tightwad” and “frugal” may have had a negative connotation at one time, but given the state of our current economy – these two words have taken on new meaning for most individuals.
A book that has been highly touted as “brilliant” by its readers, The Complete Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn has become a must read for those who find it necessary to cut back on expenses in order to get through this economic recession.
Currently priced at only $22.95, the product description for The Tightwad Gazette states that:
“In a newsletter published from May 1990 to December 1996 as well as in three enormously successful books, Amy Dacyczyn established herself as the expert of economy.
