Over the years I have turned to the Tightwad Gazette over and over again for ideas and sometimes a boost to "get more frugal again." Lately with our decision for me to work part time and cutting our income, I have been reading and re-reading the Tightwad Gazette quite a bit. As you can see...my copy is well worn.
I was really excited to find this recent article/interview with Amy Dacyczyn, author of the Tightwad Gazette. I also found this article, and this article (with pictures of the gal!). She is still out there - being frugal and loving it! It is nice to know that she is still practicing what she preaches even now when she doesn't NEED to be frugal.
I highly recommend The Complete Tightwad Gazette (check out my sidebar to get your copy from Amazon) and putting some of the ideas into practice. You will save money.
Don't forget to check out Life as Mom for more Frugal Friday bloggers!

I love this book! While some of the suggestions are definitely way too extreme for me, they are always funny and interesting to read! And I do appreciate some of the tips - for example I learned that in soft water you can use about a third of the dish detergent, so I have scaled that right back and it works perfectly!
It's pretty amazing that the family successfully raised their family with 6 kids on such a low income. It goes to show that you can pretty much do anything you put your mind to!
I love it - your book is even more worn than mine! Yes, this is my all time favorite (non-Bible) book!
