Frugal Living: Your Guide to Save Money, Spend Less and Live Better
Nancy Brooks · 2017
56/100
👎 Skip It
Nancy Brooks walks through food, energy, and household costs with a grandmother's practicality, and I like that she pushes back on the idea that frugal means cheap. Still, it's a straightforward household-savings guide without much that feels fresh.
