Summary: Doesn't even deserve 1 star
Review: Don't waste your valuable time with this one. When the suggestions are "Move to a state with lower death taxes" (#969), "don't let your kids watch Saturday morning cartoons" (448), and "recycle your knee-high socks into ankle-length by cutting them" (248), I would venture to guess that most people would not find these "tips" practical. One tip (489) even suggests to invite grandparents to visit often because they'll bring presents for your kids! Almost all of the good tips (there are a few) are common-sense ways to cut expenses like use coupons, buy off-season, etc. Just look at how many people are selling this book "used" to see how helpful it is.

Summary: What a crock!
Review: This book started off well, but it never delivered. I am NOT going to re-use my trash bags to save money - come on! My tip to save money: Don't buy this book.

Summary: Amazon: You need to give more stars--10 stars!!!!
Review: This excellent book by Jonathan Pond will provide you with 1001 practical ways (that you won't find anywhere else) to reduce expences and to invest or expand your lifestyle.Please ignore the 1 star reviews. If you haven't already figureed it out, they are all from the same JBQ shill. I also recommend "The Courage To Be Rich", "The Laws of Money" and "9 Steps to Financial Freedom" by Suze Orman.

Summary: Tip # 1 To Save Money............
Review: Tip # 1 is save your money and DO NOT buy this book! One of the ideas is to get a goat for milk!! Don't you then have to buy grain to feed the goat? Another tip: Don't bring your children food shopping. Hiring a babysitter is cheaper???

Summary: Powerful advice that really works.
Review: When I came across this book I was out of work and deeply in debt. Thanks to the tips in "101 ways" I found many ways to dig myself out of debt and into financial freedom. Great book. Highly recommended.

Summary: Completely Useless
Review: With tips such as "Don't buy a vacation home" (#65), "Fall in love with someone who is rich" (#431) and "Keep your inspection stickers up-to-date" (followed by a blurb about how he just "found this out the hard way" -- #403), this book is good for laughs, but nothing else. You'll be better off getting it from the library, like I did. If you are REALLY new to frugality, I recommend "Miserly Moms" by Jonni McCoy, which is a good beginner's book. The best yet, is of course, the "Tightwad Gazette" series by Amy Dacyzyn. Get any of these at your local library. :)
