Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
101 Frugal Living Tips
Kevin C. Hill · 2015
50/100
👎 Skip It
Kevin Hill's bite-sized tips make a fair point — frugal isn't the same as cheap — and that framing has some real value. But 101 short entries can start to feel like padding, and with barely any outside eyes on it, I'd call this a decent skim, not a must-buy.
