Tried and true
We've used the tightwad gazette for years for good money-saving ideas, recipes, and general advice for around the home. My daughter asked for our copy after she got married. After a while, we found that we couldn't be without a copy ourselves; hence we made our purchase and are delighted. Thanks again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
