"After reading The Tightwad Gazette I & II, grocery shopping would never be the same for me. My weekly grocery bill used to be $100 to $120 for a family of 5, now it averages $50 to $70 dollars a week, sometimes less. I know longer need to work part-time and can be a stay home mom. I enjoyed these books so much I decided to purchase The Tightwad Gazette III so I could have the complete collection to refer to when I'm in a pinch. These books would make great gifts for bridal showers, weddings, even a college student, or anyone who says they just can't save money."
