Do your wallet a favor and meet Amy Dacyczyn a self-styled “Frugal Zealot” and publisher of The Tightwad Gazette. You’ll find literally thousands of ideas for saving money, from the simple or practical to the difficult or bizarre..Ideas that helped her go from zero to her dream New England farmhouse.  It’s a fun read from the high priestess of penny pinching.

Her book gets 5 stars from 194 Amazon reviewers:
“…in the 2 months since I have become (in Amy’s words) a “Black-belt Tightwad,” my family has saved approximately $900, with no dramatic difference in our lifestyle.”
“This is a brilliantly written, well-compiled manual for frugal living. It is extremely easy to read and very user friendly. I agree with other reviewers that this book is highly addictive.”
The Big Pig is one of Amy Dacysczyn’s biggest fans. We highly recommend any of her books to our friends. (Order it on Amazon – or better yet – borrow it from the Jefferson County Library just a couple of doors down from the Big Pig Thrift Store)
