Dollars and Sense

For the Thrifty-Minded...
These days, almost everyone we talk to is interested in making their money go as far as it can. Books can offer not only practical advice but original ideas on how to live better at a lower price. Among a balanced selection of library-owned titles that speak to $$ questions, we list a few that are especially entertaining, useful, or great for browsing.

10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget, by the pick-and-choose writers of Wise Bread, contains chapters on food & drink, health & beauty, fun & entertainment, shopping & bargain hunting, green living, education & self-improvement, etc. Wise Bread is a blogger community associated with the Killer Aces Media.
