    Dirt Poor and Lovin' It! by Kate Singh
    Like this book because it's simple and easy for anyone to do. Starts with a table of contents.
    Speaks of utilizing the house you live in to make it work for you and your income-take others in is one suggestion.
    Budgeting is also discussed. Teachs you how to stock the pantry and what you'll be able to cook for healthy meals.
    Love the section on farming the produce yourself and even making compost from vegetable waste to create your won dirt.
    One of the things we do not currently have is a clothesline outside. It would help a bit with the electric bill but we just replaced our appliances last year with more energy saving ones.
    So many ideas here and how to reuse things. Extra resources listings are listed at the end.

    Kate Singh can sure put a twist on things when it comes to pinching pennies and living on low income. It was pure fun and delight to read about her and her family. I've loved her writing since the first day I picked up one of her books! Her books are the kind you'll want on your book shelf for a very long time and makes your heart sing!

    Moderately meaningful

    This little booklet is ok for the young and just starting out or for the ones that are completely clueless about penny pinching. It contains some common sense ideas but other ideas, I.e. her diy recipes are not healthy and some are down right hazardous. I may be dirt poor but I am not loving this little booklet. I do give her a thumbs up for her perkiness.

  • Sophie Gist

    Some basic little tips

    Could use some more bullet points, but a good read for anyone that is starting out making changes. I highly recommend the Automatic Millionaire, Millionaire Next Door if you are interested in personal finance.

  • Willow

    Loved all the ideas!

    It is a small book , but it's jam packed with great ideas to save money. Just what I needed to get started.

  • Tracy Jones

    Good read

    Short but sweet. Read in one evening. Common sense advice. A lot were things I already knew but needed reminding of.

  • Beverly Geary

    Common sense to most people

    Not a lot of original ideas. Some ideas repeated in similar words. I’m glad this book didn’t cost me too much.

  • April

  • Sara Jane Bailey

  • W Adkins

    Great tips

    A fun little guide to reset your budget and spending goals to rein in spending and focus on things that are truly important like family and friends

  • Charlotte Nicholson

    I'm sure this is a great book if you're just starting out, and live in the USA. It's slightly less useful however if you're in the UK.
    Many of the tips are relatable but some dont transfer as shops such as 'whole food cooperatives' are few and far between here unfortunately.

  • Blane

    Lots of good ideas for a small book

    This book has a lot of good ideas for frugal living from such a small book. Also presents concepts that make it easy to come up with similar ideas on your own.

  • Sherry Williams
