In this economy everyone seems to be interested in spending less money, being more frugal, or getting their finances in order. The Economides have been labeled as America's Cheapest Family for a reason. Their lifestyle has been one of frugality, carefulness, and planning. The husband and wife team have written this book to help out the newbie to the frugal game.I enjoyed reading this book.

But overall, I got a few good ideas and their recommendations on insurance and other things like
Okay, so I wouldn't do EVERYTHING suggested in this book. I found it pretty interesting though. Hats off to the couple that could run through a grocery store communicating with walkies about manager's specials. I'm trying to implement the budgeting they suggest and I've become quite the coupon queen as well. It's definitely something to read if you are trying to be a stay-at-home mom and you don't think you have the finances for it. These people lived in $40something thousand, supporting 7
