you read it in bed too !:rotfl: :rotfl:
I have the 3 separate books, when I bought them I guessed that they were going to get a bit battered so I covered them in sticky backed plastic
Im not sure if the combined book has all of the info that is in the 3 books - the total number of pages (not included the index) for the 3 books is 825, is the combined book the same?0 -
The combined book has 926 pages not including the index.
I do most of my reading in bed, it's the only place I can get some peace to read without distraction
Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

Yes, I remember now - her last few newsletters were included in the combined book, the third book was already printed by the time she decided to stop writing.0

I don't know about the penny pinchers book but I totally recommend the complete tightwad gazette. I am sure there are ways that you can get amazon vouchers for doing surveys and then you could get both books at no cost to you.Penny xxx
Old age isn't bad when you consider the alternative.0 -
I decided to treat myself to the complete TWG last week. It arrived Thrusday. I finished it Friday. I am now re-reading it & taking notes.
A lot of the ideas aren't new ground, but it is set in such an inspiring way, I defy anyone not to make improvements after reading it. And I like to consider myself a fairly seasoned money saver/tight wadder:rolleyes: (although I do frequently fall off the wagon:p)
HTH;)Post Natal Depression is the worst part of giving birth:p
In England we have Mothering Sunday & Father Christmas, Mothers day & Santa Clause are American merchandising tricks:mad: Demonstrate pride in your heirtage by getting it right please people!0 -
Only complaint I have about TWG:
it is apt to go a bit wrinkly when you read it in the bath!0 -

grrrrr ! Just got back from the library & they dont have either the Tightwad Gazette or the Penny Pinchers Guide. They said they will put in a request for each of them (@ £3.50 per book !), so I may just get the Gazette off Amamzon or similar.0
