With the recession/shallow depression, finally the country is in sync with Clark's frugal ways. He gets a big kick out of saving money at every turn. I can see that he might be a little difficult for his wife to take sometimes.Good tips in this book. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5

I am a huge fan of Clark Howard. I love his friendly, down home manner. It's obvious that Clark loves a bargain and his money saving ideas can easily be incorporated into anyone's lifestyle. He practices what he preaches. I may not use every suggestion, but that's the beauty of the book--with over 250 ways to save, you can pick and choose what works for you. Plenty of white space makes for easy reading. Highly recommend.
