Old Style Book Title

Hi folks
The Old Style Book is coming on at speed. I've got the first draft to go through and edit now... (not started yet). We've got a meeting next week to discuss titles with the publisher and I thought I would sneakily get your help for inspiration to make me look clever and creative.
They don't want Old Style to be the main title, simply because most people won't know what it means in the book shops, which is understandable.
It's something that has to imply thrifty type behaviour symptomatic of what old style is.
Your suggestions most welcome, there's no definites I'm just one person at the metting, but it'd help.
PS for those who dont know. The book is based on the postings in this forum. We're working to get it out when we can. As I'm not writing it I'm donating all my taking to the new MoneySaving kids charity.

How about something along the lines of
"Money Saving - the way it was" or
"Money Saving - Granny knew best"
or
"Then and Now (or vice versa) - the art of thrift"
Hmmm - I'll get me thinking cap on.......
how about
"Money Saving Experiences - lessons from the past"
I'm on a roll (OK, they may all be tosh, but hey, that's what brainstorming is about
)
