Thrifty Living is a comprehensive but flexible guide to how to cut
the costs of everyday living, how to save money, and even how to make
a few extra pounds. It will allow you to make as many or as few
changes as you want to cut back on spending, whether you just want to
save a little money or whether you are on an impossibly tight budget.
The structure and style of the book is equally flexible, allowing you
to either work through step-by-step or to dip in and out of relevant
sections when necessary. It covers all areas of spending, from banks
and bills to shopping, and offers extra help for non-financial
economies, including recycling, cooking and cleaning on a budget. With
advice on cutting travel costs, and plenty of tips for cheap days out
and sustainable, low-cost things to do, this is the ultimate guide to
living a cheap but fulfilling life.
