Read this book before your next shopping trip. I promise it will save you a bundle. The chapters on grocery shopping, cosmetics, vitamins, and pets have saved me at least $100 in the last month. To my surprise, this book is the missing piece I needed in my quest for D cluttering my home. I was finally able to see where I was spending extra money and bringing things home I didn’t actually need at the time. The book has helped me focus more on using what I already have and paying close attention to what I actually need when I do shop. I am sure I will return to this book again and again when I need to make other types of purchases. The chapter on finding legal help is particularly well written.
